Some Christians want to become 'godly' for the wrong reasons. They thoroughly engage themselves in the Christian culture. But the reason they do this is to give the false impression/personal belief that they are mature Christians who are growing rapidly in the faith.
But it is possible to do such Christian acts as Bible studies, involvement in various church ministries, and speaking spiritual truths and not be growing spiritually. If you are doing these things for other Christians to think highly of you, you are not deepening your walk with Christ. You are in fact backsliding.
To grow in Christ, you must seek to truly glorify God by making Him look bigger, and you look smaller. But so often we do good works by using our talents and getting ourselves engrossed in the Christian culture for the wrong reasons. So let us exam our hearts and ask why we do the Christian things we do. Let us truly grow in Christ by seeking to glorify God and not ourselves.
