122 C h r i s t i a n M a t u r i t y1. Just as a small child cannot have a baby because of thelack of maturity necessary for reproduction, so immaturity in ourChristian life will often prevent our witness from being effective.2. Just as reproduction requires union between a man and awoman (a union the Bible says must be through marriage), so abeliever only reproduces spiritually when living in vital unionwith Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.3. Just as disease or impairment of vital body areas preventsreproduction, so sin and careless living affect the believer’sability to reproduce spiritually.Application26 Prayerfully read Colossians 4:5–6. In these verses are foursimple directions to follow in our witnessing. List them here inthe order they are mentioned.a ...................................................................................................b ...................................................................................................c ...................................................................................................d ...................................................................................................Each of these directions could be expanded, but our space islimited. You may wish to list the following Scriptures in yournotebook (under spiritual) for future reference on the subject ofwitnessing: 1 Peter 3:15, Matthew 5:13, and Luke 12:11–12.When you share your faith, it is strengthened. Witnessingnot only brings others to the Lord but also increases our ownspiritual maturity.
