Anglican Communion Daily Fountain Devotional 15 June 2026 – a daily flow of refreshing scriptures, sermons, and prayers to help you start your day with Jesus Christ.
TOPIC: You Need to Grow Into Maturity
READ: Galatians 4:1-20
MESSAGE
In our text today, we see Paul’s disappointment at the fact that the Galatian Christians who had joyfully accepted to follow Christ at his preaching, after some time, had turned to seeking the righteousness of the Law. They had quickly forgotten that the righteousness of the Law could not save them; only faith in Jesus Christ could do (Gal. 3:26).
The Apostle Paul corrected them from trying to subject themselves to the formal observance of the Law. He then encouraged them to grow up in their faith in Christ Jesus which would make them enjoy the full benefits of the blessings of Christ (Eph. 1:3-6). Beloved, as Christians, we are no longer bound by this formal observance of the Law.
We are admonished in Colossians 2:20-23 to grow up into maturity in Christ, and we can do this through the study of His Word, prayer and constant obedience to the Holy Spirit. Growing into maturity in Christ will make you a spiritual and knowledgeable Christian. Being a religious person is different from being saved. A religious person only observes religious principles and formal systems.
He could even be energetic in church activities, but lack the personal relationship with Christ. He could be full of activities, but without the Holy Spirit. Personal relationship or encounter with Jesus marks the beginning of your relationship with God. Salvation brings you into true freedom to serve God, without feeling it as a burden. Your heart is filled with the joy of Heaven, as Jesus becomes real to you each day.
PRAYER POINT
Lord Jesus, help me to grow daily in my relationship with you. Amen.
