Spiritual Growth — The Journey to Christlikeness is intended to provide insights into how God helps us grow into who He wants us to become — like Christ. Becoming more and more Christlike is the essence of spiritual maturity and should be the overwhelming desire of all of us.

As part of this journey, we must understand the concept of spiritual maturity, where we are currently in our spiritual journey, and how we can fulfill this destiny. We must also understand that the purpose of this is ultimately to hear the wonderful words from our Lord, Well done good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23).
