Question

List and briefly describe the three main obstacles to growth in the Christian life. a. b. c.

Answer 1

Flesh, the devil and the world.
A. Inherited sin (flesh) ~ Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

B. The Devil - 2 Corinthians 4:3,4: "If, in fact, the good news we declare is veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the God of this system of things he has blinded the minds of unbelievers, illumination of  the glorious good news of Christ who is the image of God, may not shine through,"

C. The World - 1 John 2:15 - "Do not love either the world or things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not him."

There you go. However, I'd recommend you write down the Bible verse as well or summarize it as that will prove your statement correct. (I assume you're christian/catholic.)

Answer 2

The correct answer is the Original Sin, the Devil, and material things of the world.

The three main obstacles to grow in the Christian life are the Original, SIn, the Devil, and material things of the world.

These three elements are three conflicts that Christians face during their evolution as humans as good Christians and men and women of faith. This religion considers that humans born dirty due to Original Sin. That is why they have to go to church and be baptized, to "clean" the Orginal Sin. The next is the Devil and its temptations. The Devil is always lurking in the shadows so Christian must be aware to be always under the grace of God. And the temptation of the flesh and material things of the world. Christians must be always ready to overcome any material temptation from the world, such as greed, in order to have internal peace.
