In order to do this, we need to be in the Word of God, we need to be learning to Trust God in Every Aspect of our Lives. We need to make Him Lord of our Lives. In the book of James we see the word 'perfect' used several times. When you look at the original Greek language, you find that this word means Mature or Complete. When James uses the term 'perfect man' in James 3:2 he did not mean a sinless man, but rather one who is mature, balanced, and grown-up. When you are a new Christian, you are a babe in Christ. But God wants us to grow in our relationship with Him, He doesn't want us to stay babes. Just like a baby infant grows from being a baby and matures, God wants us to grow from being a babe in Christ to mature Christians.
Hebrews 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (NKJV)
Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives.
