10 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO GROW IN CHRIST DAILY

1. Start Each Day with Prayer and Surrender to God

Scripture:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
— Psalm 119:105 (NASB)

Application: Spend time each day reading the Bible, letting it shape your thoughts, desires, and decisions.

3. Confess Sin and Receive Daily Forgiveness

Scripture:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
— 1 John 1:9 (NASB)

Application: Keep a short account with God. Daily confession keeps your heart tender and humble.

4. Worship God with Your Whole Life

7. Be Active in a Local Church

Scripture:
“And let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”
— Hebrews 10:24–25 (NASB)

Application: Church is not just a building—it’s a body. Belong to it. Serve in it. Grow through it.

8. Share the Gospel Boldly

Scripture:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth.”

9. Practice Gratitude in All Circumstances

Scripture:
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NASB)

Application: Gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have in Christ.

10. Keep Your Eyes on Jesus Daily

Scripture:
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
