Word of God clearly says in John
15:5 -- I am the vine, you are the
branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart
from me you can do nothing.
We all are working ourselves in different levels of faith, we
have to understand whether we are in the beginning or in the middle or at the
top in our life of faith still without Jesus we can do nothing.
We can think that people who are top have just reached there
by magic but in reality they have gone through difficult times and have
overcome their through help of God so that they can teach others the same.
If we claim that we are true followers of Jesus then surely
others have to see in us the 9 fruits of Holy Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.), without that we will be deceiving ourselves.
If we have grown in this a little then we have to be sure we
are in the beginning stage and this stage is very dangerous because most of us
are not serious in our commitment and because of this we can either take help
of Jesus everyday and grow further or else we may quit thinking nothing good is
going to happen.
When we have reached the middle we may not think that we are
safe and relax because we will be going through different kinds of temptations
and if we do not abide in Jesus then surely we may fall into temptation and we
may make our journey back to the beginners and also some will become
unbelievers.
When we have reached to the top in our faith we have to be
more alert because devil is going to make us think that we know everything and
because of this most of us will fall into spiritual pride which will bring a
great fall in our spiritual life and we may walk downwards to the middle and
sometimes even to the beginners and unbelievers.
Truth is when we have fellowship with Jesus and His Word
daily we can be sure to grow no matter what sin or temptation or problems
troubles us. We will receive strength from the Lord to overcome it and move
forward. Our fellowship with God and His
Word will increase in us the fruits of the Holy Spirit which will automatically
change our life of flesh into life of Spirit. When we are walking in the life
of Spirit we are above the law.
