62 C h r i s t i a n M a t u r i t yLESSON4Hindrance and Helpto Christian GrowthAfter the last lesson, you should feel somewhat like a songrowing up, a valuable piece of land being carefully farmed, or agreat and beautiful building under construction. Which likenessdo you most identify with? No matter! In a sense, we are like allthree at once! Each illustration describes exciting potential forChristian growth.One part of this lesson is meant to show you from Scripturethings that cause Christian maturity to be delayed or evenstopped entirely. Recognizing these will help us identify them inour own lives. Knowing why we are not growing spiritually canhelp us bring about change.Another part of this lesson lists things which aid spiritualgrowth. Knowing these things, we can cooperate with the HolySpirit in allowing our new lives in Christ to grow. Together weshould find encouragement and help in this study.
