Exploring the Holy Scriptures

When we confess the Lord Jesus with our mouth and believe in our hearts the God raised him from the dead, the Bible say that we are then saved. That is a very exciting time in the life of the believer because at that very instant, he knows that he is assured of eternal life. At this point he may not be aware that this promise can only be fulfilled after physical death. Several questions should occur to him regarding his post-salvation life; such as, what am I supposed to do with my life between salvation and physical death? What does God expect from me after he saved me? At conversion most of us do not think that far ahead, and when these issues do come up, some of us who have not had the benefit of solid biblical teaching are confused and ignorant of the answers to these questions. The reality is that the Bible clearly states God's expectations for his people. In this study we will explore only one of these expectations, one which is least taught and the most unfulfilled, namely, Christian maturity.
