"Christian spirituality is, quite simply,
following Jesus. It is the ordinary life of faith in which we receive Baptism,
attend the Divine Service, participate in the Holy Supper, read the Scriptures,
pray for ourselves and others, resist temptation, and work with Jesus in our
given location here on earth." – from the Introduction
The longing for spiritual fulfillment,
inevitably paired with spiritual frustration, is common among Christians.
- Do we read and study the Bible enough?
- Do we worship often and in the right way?
- Do we pray enough, in the correct way, and
for the right things?
- How do we become truly spiritual?
And the answers from numerous self-help
spirituality books only lead to confusion and the fear of missing key steps on
the road to becoming spiritual.
In response, John W. Kleinig clarifies that
there is no process for becoming spiritual. Instead, God graciously gives to us
every spiritual gift that we need, beginning with the very gift of faith in
Christ, our Savior. Because God has joined us to Christ, He continually comes to
give us life.
