Maturation in Christ

Cracking open the door of my mind and heart a bit, I see the Lord taking me back to the basics of faith in Christ. He is prompting me, presenting me with opportunities, causing me to ask questions. He is leading me to delve more deeply, and with also some amount of breadth, into basic doctrines of our faith.

Christian maturity. Imputation. Justification. Sanctification. Salvation.

These are terms I know, and, at least to some level, can define.

It seems God is challenging me (in the process of maturing me, disciplining me as a son), asking "So do you really know as much as you think you know? You cannot put Me in a box. Here are some idea on which to ponder; as you are renewed through these, you will understand Me more, and know yourself and your limitations all the more."

My next several posts will revolve about these themes.
