門徒成長的不同階段

門徒成長的不同階段 

经文：犹20：21

一、在真道上造就自己

生命的存活在于饮食，灵命的成长在于灵粮的供给（彼前1：23）。我们蒙了重生不是由于能坏的种子，乃是由于不能坏的种子，是藉着神活泼常存的道。真理的造就是生命长进最基本的条件，所以，我们要爱慕纯正的的灵奶，以此作为灵命成长的供应（彼前2：2）。

二、在圣灵里祷告

生命的力量在于操练，灵命的能力在于祷告，圣灵的力量会使灵命刚强起来（弗3：16）。我们当靠圣灵随时多方地祷告（弗6：18），以促进灵命的成长。

三、保守自己常在神的爱中

生命强盛的人喜欢活动，属灵生命的彰显在于有基督爱的流露（约壹4：16），住在爱里的就是住在神里面，所以要追求最大的恩赐--爱（林前12：31；13：31）。一个健康的人不但能吃，还能活动和工作，同样，一个蒙神爱的人也能爱别人。

四、仰望主耶稣基督的怜悯

有仰望就会信心，从而能脱去容易緾累自己的罪，奔跑摆在前面的路程，也能轻看羞辱，如基督忍受十架之苦难（来12：1-2）。我们当仰望基督的憐悯，因他体恤我们的软弱（来4：15）。

结语：灵命成长的四个阶段，是循序渐进、相辅相成的，让我们努力追求，促使灵命不断成长。

門徒成長的不同階段

It's difficult to categorize the inner growth or the depth of your "love of God". These are areas more significant to the life of a disciple.  Also, if the "old self" is still dominant, one can wear the mask of a disciple and fool everyone including himself/herself.

However, it's still convenient to make 2 stages of the disciple:

1.  Learner/student stage.   "Learner" is actually the meaning of the word "disciple". Characterized by active learning from all sources, mentors, books, Scripture reading, quiet time, prayers, life situations......  Able to be a self-feeder.  Learning to put what he/she learns (theory into practice).

2.  Adult/worker.    Able and be in a position to reproduce is a major and natural feature of an adult.  Really putting theory into practice. 

Self-evaluation:  I had been a 90% adult (for a few years). Now I'm back to the learner stage.

門徒成長的不同階段


In my opinion, there are 4 stages:

1.) Baby

     He/She is a new believer who depends totally on other Christians to feed the spiritual milk because of being naive in the Christian belief.

2.) Toddler

     He/She starts to eat solid food but he/she still needs other Christians to feed the spiritual milk for most of the time.  In other words, he/she has a little bit of knowledge & understanding in the Christian belief.

3.) Teenager

      He/She begins to grow up in Christian belief, e.g. joining the Fellowship or Small Group, taking part in some missionary programs and so on.

4.) Adult

      He/She is a mature Christian: Acting like Jesus & glorifying Him in his/her daily life, acting as a mentor or an example for the other Christians and so on.

      In a word, different Christians have various growing up stages. Some may grow up quickly or slowly. Some may have "a big jump" or "a stand-still".  However, the most important thing is that we need to encourage each other to grow up. Let's pray for each other!
