Everyone follows certain basic assumptions in life that become a guiding pattern for development. God, who created us, has given us a revelation of Himself, in order that we might have a model after which we pattern our spiritual/emotional/mental and physical development. It is found in Jesus Christ, who came into the world to be that model. In Luke 2:52 it says, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature (i.e. physical maturity), and in favor with God (i.e. mental maturity) and man (i.e. social maturity)." He showed mankind the right objective way of life. We have an absolute model.
