Salvation is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of a beautiful transformation. When a person comes to Christ, something miraculous takes place: the old life passes away, and a new creation emerges, alive in Him. Yet many believers stop at the doorway of salvation, unaware that God desires to build their lives into something lasting and strong — brick by brick, through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

In this conversation, Pastor Bruce David Bell reminds us that true spiritual growth requires more than emotion or enthusiasm. It’s a steady, intentional journey of being shaped by Scripture, strengthened through prayer, and surrounded by a community of faith. Just as a newborn depends on nourishment to grow, the believer’s soul must feed daily on God’s Word to stay vibrant and rooted. This is how we begin to think differently, speak differently, and live differently — because Christ now lives in us.

The Holy Spirit plays an intimate role in this transformation, dwelling within us to reveal truth, convict, comfort, and guide our every step. He is the divine architect who ensures that each “brick” — every lesson, trial, and victory — fits perfectly into the masterpiece God is creating. Life in Christ is not built in a moment but formed over time, through surrender and faithfulness.

Are you allowing God to build your life one brick at a time, or are you still standing at the foundation, afraid to grow higher?
