Scotty Smith is a blogger for The Gospel Coalition, and months ago tweeted a series of reflections on hyper-practical ways we can tell we are maturing in God’s grace. I found them all extremely helpful, and hope you do as well. The full list is here, but here are a few:
A sign you’re growing in grace: You’re got some really good friends who really disagree with you about Jesus & the Bible

A sign you’re growing in grace: Christ-esteem has trumped and transformed the quest for self-esteem in your life
— Scotty Smith (@ScottyWardSmith) August 18, 2014
A sign you’re growing in grace: Your gospel is bigger, your gripes fewer, your generosity freer, and your laugh louder
— Scotty Smith (@ScottyWardSmith) August 17, 2014
A sign you’re growing in grace: You no longer overreact to words like “holiness”, “quiet times”, or “obedience”

A sign you’re growing in grace: You’re not that guy that hogs the best Starbucks chair for an hour, wearing ear buds

A sign you’re growing in grace: You don’t assume God’s trying 2 teach you lessons as much as he’s teaching you the gospel
