The Stature of Christ

Growth.

1. One day we shall be conformed to Christ.
2. God's people have always grown.
3. It is a happy thing to become increasingly like Christ.
4. Initially every grace is small as a seed.
5. The Lord's people do not all grow alike.
6. Hindrances.
7. Remedies.

Christ's graces we should emulate.

1. Always doing things that please God.
2. Contempt of the world.
3. Humility.
4. Compassion.
5. Forgiveness.
6. Self-denial.
7. To be best at the end.

These will impress the world.
We come short, but press on to reach Heaven.
