Mature Christian
wants to stay in the world                                                              

We should grow up from this scripture: Proverbs 30:8,9
1.  Philippians 1:19-24
2.  Ephesians 3:13-19
3.  Romans 5:1-5
4.  2 Thessalonians 1:1-10
 
We grow in our love for God, then we to want to stay in this world for Him and not ourselves. We should want to stay to glorify God, mature the saints, and save the lost.
 
 
Living in this world for Christ, is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity!
