The Bible contains many spiritual truths necessary for spiritual growth. Some of those truths are basic and some are more advanced. Fundamental biblical truths that are keys to spiritual growth include salvation, assurance, eternal security, trials, how to understand the Scripture, prayer, the means of spiritual growth, the will of God, the provision of God, the love of God, and the Judgment Seat of Christ.

It is not unusual for Christians to be confused concerning these basic biblical truths needed for spiritual growth. Confusion over these issues produces spiritual instability. Paul says, "we all" need to come to the "knowledge of the Son of God, to the perfect man, to the measure of the sport to California next stature of the fullness of Christ that we should no longer be children, tossed two and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting" (Eph. 4:13-14).

In Spiritual Basics: Basic Biblical Keys for Living a Spiritual Life, G. Michael Cocoris explains 12 basic spiritual truths necessary for spiritual growth and clarifies the confusion surrounding many of them. In addition, he suggests a verse for each of the 12 basic truths. By learning those truths and the verses that go with them, believers will know what the Bible says and where it says it.

This book is not just for new believers but for all believers because they need to know what the Bible says about spiritual growth. Even believers who already know those truths will benefit from this book because it will teach them how to teach others what the Bible says and where the Bible says it.
