Christianity is greatly misunderstood by many Christians and non-Christians alike. To be a Christian is much more than just simply believing in God and be a good person. The central focus of the Christian faith is the life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Although this blog will not be aimed at proving this, I would like to mention that this is not something that we just blindly believe. Any authentic Christian should be a skeptic and make sure that what they believe is based upon evidence and facts

When a person understand that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the son of God, (proven by His resurrection Rom 1:4), you will understand that the only way for any person to be reconciled to God is by the grace given to us in God’s Son – Jesus.

But there is much more to it than this. In the Bible we see an interesting verse; Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. (Hebrews 5:14 NLT). In this portion of scripture we see than to believe in Jesus and have faith in God’s grace for eternal salvation is in every way the absolute beginning of our faith. There is much more to it than just simply going to heaven.

For many, Jesus is simply fire insurance. But the real maturity that is found in the salvation of the cross is more than just being saved from hell.

During this Growth series we will aim to answer this question. We will explore what God has given us in Jesus and how to fully live in this.
