Two things determine the longevity of your walk with Jesus.

1. Your Habits. Do you pray daily? Do you participate in worship weekly? Do you read your Bible regularly? How often do you serve, give, and fellowship with other believers? Every person I have met with a vibrant faith has developed habits that feed their soul.
2. Your Relationships. Do the people around you push you to grow in your walk of faith? If your friends do not have regular spiritual habits, the chances significantly increase that you will not have them either. If those around you have a “lukewarm” faith, then so will you. Do the people in your life inspire you to greater faith or reduce you to weaker faith? Show me the people who are closest to you in life, and I will be able to predict the long-term vibrancy of your convictions.

People are always looking for quick fixes to their spiritual life through the latest book or teacher. I believe the strongest Christians are the result of keeping good habits and developing quality relationships that help them grow closer to Jesus with time.
