Dear Young Christian:
I was waiting in the doctor’s office the other day when I saw a brochure with the following title:
PROPER GROWTH COMES
FROM PROPER NUTRITION
It made me think of several verses from the Bible. Here are just a couple:
“Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).
“He that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever” (John 6:57-58).
If a good nutritious diet is essential for proper growth and bodily maintenance in natural things, it is certainly the same in spiritual things, and for the new life that we have when we get saved. Make sure you eat well this week … both naturally and spiritually.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
