When we talk about growing in Christ it’s important not to romanticize the process or assume it is merely a matter of attitude change. We need to stress the need to be sanctified, but then carefully nuance it. Ed Welch says it best: “Sanctification is like a clumsy, slow walk rather than a light switch that we turn from off to on.” Christian growth is unmistakably painful at times. Like redemptive history, it is filled with uncertainty, doubt, and fears.
