Spiritual Growth Love

What is life? What are we here for? What is truly important? What will bring authentic satisfaction and lasting happiness? We all ask these questions, and we all have a right to come to our own conclusions. In this follow-up to his New York Times and USA Today bestseller Jesus Is ____, Judah completes this sentence as to what “life is,” revealing how it is to be loved and to love, to enjoy God to the fullest, to trust God in every moment, and to be at peace with God, others, and ourselves.

The topic of spiritual growth and development has been broadly spoken to in many essays, articles, and books. However, I would like to speak more directly to the four phases of my life and journey with the Sovereign. The first phase was all about me. The second phase was all about me and Him. The third phase was about Him and me, and the fourth phase has and is all about Him.

The kingdom of God possesses an extraordinary and awe-inspiring power. It is a force fueled by divine love, justice, and peace, working tirelessly to bring about a profound transformation in our world. This power becomes accessible to us through the Holy Spirit and is vividly evident in the lives of those who wholeheartedly follow Jesus Christ. Unlike a physical realm confined to a specific place, the kingdom of God exists as a spiritual reality. Within its boundaries, God's will, love, and justice reign supreme.

We all yearn for greater contentment. We try new planners, new apps, new jobs, new diets, and new relationships hoping that one more change will finally make our lives feel right. But no matter what we do, the peace we seek feels out of reach. How can we find the meaning and purpose we long for? Fourth-century philosopher and theologian St. Augustine asked the same question.

I believe that remembering Bible verses (and I am no expert at this) can help provide a person with strength, wisdom, and can be very helpful with spiritual attacks from the enemy. Even if you do not believe in Christian faith, the Bible has many inspirational verses that I believe can help any person, through difficult times. This book was written in hopes of helping myself, as well as others, to learn Bible verses, so that I or they will be able to use them when needed.

Here, I examine Jesus' first response to some of the people that He encountered who were in some form of sin, namely the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery. I also share how Jesus repeats those same principles of “first response” in His telling of the parable of the prodigal son. I compare Jesus' response to the types of responses that I received as a “prodigal” trying to return home to a right relationship with the Father. Further, I examine how I have also failed to extend the proper first response to others who were in a condition of woundedness and sin.
