Comfort, Patience and Time – Do you have to “get out of your comfort zone” to become a Christian? – Part 2
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.
Next, staying in your comfort zone may actually hinder your growth in more than one way. If you stay in your comfort zone and it involves sin it could be the death of you, literally. As the Bible says, “sin results in death” (Romans 6:23). Of course we are all pronounced once to die, but there are two types of death, if you believe what the Bible says (Hebrews 9:27). There is physical death and eternal death (Revelation 21:8). So in order for anyone to grow and really live, we must be willing to continually get out of our comfort zone for our very survival!
