A Teachable Spirit

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "A Teachable Spirit," Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of being open to correction and instruction in order to achieve Christian growth and maturity. Drawing near to God requires continual change and transition towards God-likeness, and a teachable spirit is essential in this process. A person with a teachable spirit craves every opportunity to learn, finds instruction and correction everywhere, and extends this attitude to every area of life. Through meekness, a willingness to learn, and a hunger for correction, a teachable spirit can successfully lead to transformation into the image of Christ.
