[S] Romans 6:1 --
Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
[O] Jesus had already done it all. Why re-invent the wheel again? Just accept His provision and live in His plans for us.
[A] Why is that I give my utmost best to grow and mature in everything else but when it comes to spiritually maturing in Christ, I take my time? One of the insight from this passage is because I try to re-invent the path Jesus had already paved for me to attain that by accepting the fact that He had done it (and I don't have to re-do it again). When I try to do it (again), I make it a chore and I tend to get lazy at doing them. I need to meditate more on what it means for me to slip into all that Jesus had accomplished for my spiritual maturity.
[P] Dear Jesus, please come and fill this heart of mine so I will not try to re-do everything You already done. Instead, teach me to enter into the presence of Your amazing and perfect works for me so that I may mature in You every day. In Your name. Amen.
