For Christians 3 ways to strengthen your spiritual life

As a Christian, maintaining your spiritual life is very important.

This can not be neglected, forgotten or swept aside, as a weak spiritual life leaves you open to temptations and other attacks.

Colossians 2:7 says; "Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

This implies that our spiritual lives need to be taken care of, regularly, in order to remain rooted in God.

These can be done in the following ways;

1. Reading the Bible - You need to read and study the word of God daily, in order to have a strong spiritual life. Doing this helps you grow in faith, love and gives you better understanding of the God you serve. Joshua 1:8 says; “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.”

2. Praying constantly - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18(ESV) says "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." As Christian, you should not be content with praying once or twice, a day. You should pray in both good and bad times.
