Clyde Simpson shares his powerful insights on spiritual growth and development, offering a clear roadmap for Christians to move from spiritual infancy to full maturity through proper understanding of Scripture.

• The vast majority (99%) of Christians never progress beyond spiritual infancy due to lack of proper teaching
• Romans provides the foundational doctrine for Christian growth, with Corinthians offering reproof and Galatians providing correction
• Understanding which books of the Bible were written specifically to Gentile believers versus Jewish believers provides crucial context
• The growth process follows three steps: understanding God's love (Romans 1-9), responding to that love (Romans 10), and being transformed (Romans 12)
• Christians often take Scripture out of context because they're taught to jump between different passages without understanding their purpose
• Spiritual growth happens automatically when believers plant the Word in their hearts and renew their minds
• Christ's sacrifice addresses wholeness in all three dimensions: spiritual, mental, and physical
• Moving beyond spiritual infancy requires a clear understanding of doctrine before advancing to deeper teachings

Find Clyde Simpson's books, including "Spiritual Growth and Development from Babe to Full Maturity" and "Christian Leadership: Honor, Reverence and Respect for God in His Word" on Amazon or at ClydeSimpsonBooks.com.
