Are You Growing Closer to God or Just Better at Religion?

In today’s episode of First Light + First Words with Loren Lansky, we respond to a thoughtful listener question: how can we know whether we are truly growing closer to God or simply becoming better at religious habits?This Christ-centered devotional explores the difference between spiritual performance and abiding relationship with Jesus. Drawing from John 15 and the words of Christ, today’s message reminds us that the evidence of growth is not perfection, but fruit — humility, repentance, peace, honesty, obedience, and love. #MorningDevotional #DailyWisdom #SpiritualGrowth
