We are aware of the things around us, but can sense there’s more depth to our life. When we learn about God and how He sent Jesus to be our Savior, we become planted. Once we are planted, we begin to grow as Christians by learning about God through His Word, joining a local church, and becoming students of the Bible. Our relationship becomes rooted in His word, and we begin to sprout a new life, the stalk and leaves that give life.
