       It is important for us, as believers, to realize that the putting to death the deeds of our bodies is a lifelong process. It’s not only something that happens the first two or three years of our Christian lives, the first two or three years after we are converted. And, I think it is encouraging, in a way, for us when we come to understand this fact. It means that even though we are not where we want to be in our walks with God we nonetheless understand that we will continue to grow as we go along. Now, some Christian folks (and may I say usually the more legalistic ones), grow the first few years of their Christian experience and then reach a certain level of which they halt their growth process. They feel they have achieved where they are supposed to be in order to be pleasing to God. I could personally name people off of the top of my head whom I know who are like this. But, this is not how we are supposed to see our Christian lives. Anyone who thinks like this is still stuck in first or second grade, even though they think they are in high school. They have an incorrect understanding of our spiritual growth, as believers.
