After all, people's lives are at stake.
Christians, nosotros should too brand deliberate plans inward our calling to know God better. It won't simply tumble out yesteryear itself (Philippians 2:12-13).
The Bible commands us to:
1. First larn as well as exercise the basics - "pure spiritual milk" (1 Peter 2:2-3)
2. Then motion on to deeper faith - "solid food" (1 Corinthians 3:1-2; Hebrews 5:12; 2 Timothy 2:15)
