Attitudes of Growth

The apostle Peter lists five attitudes that demonstrate spiritual growth in the life of a Christian as they faithfully follow Christ even through suffering extreme persecution. These attitudes did not come naturally to Peter, but the Holy Spirit changed him from an impulsive, strong-willed personality to a submissive, tender-hearted, and humble follower of Christ. The Holy Spirit can change our lives, too, if we open our hearts to His working in our lives. We will then begin to notice the attitudes that demonstrate our growth spiritually as Christians. How has your spiritual growth progressed since you first started following Jesus?
