“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Is your spiritual passion dull? If so, then you might be hanging out with spiritually dull people. Spiritually dull people are those who are stagnant in their faith or are altogether not following Jesus. Metals are sharpened by stronger metals, not weaker ones. If you want to grow in your faith in Jesus then you must have a core of solid Christian friends who are sharpening your spiritual life and pointing you to Jesus.
How will friends sharpen your spiritual life?
Spiritual conversations between friends will sharpen our relationship with Jesus. These conversations cause us to wrestle with tough spiritual questions and help us apply God’s truth to our lives. We become dull from the wear and tear of our lives. The best way for us to sharpen our spiritual lives is to have spiritual conversations about God’s Word with close friends and allow the Holy Spirit to move through your lives.
Here are a few ways Christian friends will sharpen your faith:
- They pray for and with you.
- They keep you accountable.
- They influence you to make godly decisions.
- They inspire you to serve in areas of your giftedness.
- They encourage you to read and apply God’s Word.
Live It:
- Who are two or three people who are stoking your fire for Jesus?
