Comfort, Patience and Time – Do you have to “get out of your comfort zone” to become a Christian? – Part 4
I have often heard that you must get out of your comfort zone in order to grow. This is the case with any part of a person’s life. Learning requires trying new ideas and seeing what works. Unfortunately or fortunately the Christian walk is one of continuous growth. That means continually getting out of your comfort zone, because it is our job to continue to change, becoming more like Christ every day. In this week’s article we will talk about what it takes to “get out of your comfort zone”, in order to grow in your relationship with God and others, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
It is mentioned that when Jesus was to go away, that the comforter would be sent (John 14:26). This is great news for all of us! We have God’s spirit amongst us and if we accept His spirit, it will dwell in us as well (1 Corinthians 3:16). This is the gift God gave us after Jesus left His earthly commission until His return (Luke 11:13). The comforter, a.k.a Holy Spirit, is God’s Spirit (John 4:24). And baptism is a physical act in choosing to have that spirit enter our lives (Acts 2:38). The point is, when you get out of your comfort zone, whether it is with people or work, etc, believe that you have someone on your side!
