There are many Scriptures that call believers to grow in their love and obedience to Jesus Christ.  One illustration that is often used in Scripture is walking.  We are told to walk by faith, keep in step with the Spirit, and walk as Jesus did.  Walking is a series of intentional steps. As believers, we take each step seriously.  Every step should be motivated by love, celebrated by those around us, and build momentum for the next stride.  As we study Scripture both individually and together, the Holy Spirit guides not only into the truth of the text but also into the proper application of the text.  From our first step of trusting Christ to our final steps here on earth, we want to be faithful to grow personally and to help those around us live out their faith daily.
