Back to basics, could this statement meant to encourage simplicity be the key to a deeper spiritual life? The answer in one word, Absolutely! Many people today need to take a step back and realize in order to achieve a deeper spiritual life one must first start with building a relationship with God. As more and more people seek salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, more and more people are beginning to understand that God’s immediate plan for humans was companionship.
After companionship we begin to find the elements of building a more meaningful relationship. Worship, prayer, the ability to listen when God speaks, and faith. When we worship we bring together these elements. In the book of Matthew chapter seven, verse seven we find one of the guidelines to a more fulfilling prayer life, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Building the more meaningful relationship we begin to understand these elements and develop our Christian life, listening to God becomes a vital part of developing spiritual life and especially a deeper spiritual life. The greatest gift for a Christian is ultimately developing a friendship with the Lord, but among the greatest gifts is that of faith.
In friendship and in the Christian life a vital part of our understanding begins with seeing who we are. We must remember as Christians, we are sinners. Christians must continue to seek God in all things, continue to build the relationship that God seeks in humanity. To build a spiritual life is a life full of Christ, a deeper spiritual life is a life dedicated to Christ. Mike Pilavachi and Craig Borlase bring understanding to what elements a Christian should utilize in building a true friendship, a deeper spiritual life with God. God is everywhere, in everything, and in complete control. God has plans for each and every one of us; it is up to each one of us to keep God in our plans. So back to the basics, keep the Lord in your heart, live life for Christ. Now that is the answer to a deeper spiritual life
