Our Walk and Our Talk: Part 2 (1 John 2:3–11) // The Marks of Maturity

In Part 2 of “Our Walk and Our Talk,” pastor James D. Gailliard continues through 1 John 2:6–11, focusing on the Christ we must conform to and the compassion we must cultivate.

Spiritual formation changes both who we are becoming and how we are living. The character of Christ becomes our pattern, His choices become our practice, and His cross shapes our posture of surrender. Christian maturity is more than imitation—it is transformation.

Pastor Gailliard also examines how our relationships with people reveal the condition of our walk with God. Hatred contradicts the light we claim, while love becomes evidence that the life of Christ is being formed within us.

Spiritual maturity is not demonstrated only by how much Bible we know, but by how we handle people.

Formation is when the Christ I claim is increasingly the Christ people see.
