Hi All
Spiritual growth as a Christian is a lifelong process of drawing closer to God,maturing in faith and becoming more like Jesus Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit and today in our text we learn why it matters that we must grow in our faith as we continue on our walk with The Lord.
One key to growing in God is reading the scriptures because we will never grow out with our knowledge of the word as it is only by reading the word we can gain wisdom guidance and spiritual understanding.Let’s keep nourished by the word and practice what it tells us because Healthy believers move forward to maturity.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and SaviorJesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
(2 Peter 3:18)
Be Blessed And Encouraged
Growing in God
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
(2 Peter 3:14-18)
9. For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.10.that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
(Colossians 1:9-10)
When a baby is born, it’s a cause for celebration but also anticipation. Before discharging the family, the doctor checks that everything is as it should be. And then, once at home, the new parents watch carefully to make sure the baby eats enough, sleeps well, and meets milestones. In the days and months (and years!) to come, parents pay attention to the child’s development—not just physical but also cognitive and emotional. If there aren’t signs of growth, something is probably wrong.
The same is true of our life in Christ. When we first receive Jesus as Lord, we’re spiritual infants, beginning a wonderful new life in Him. But from then on, it’s important to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior” (2 Pet. 3:18). Otherwise, we can easily be misled by wrong teaching, doubt, and temptation.
Growing in our relationship with Jesus requires that we fill our life with practices that promote good spiritual health. These include regular worship, prayer, Bible study, fellowship with other believers, and serving with our gifts and talents. Such disciplines nourish us,they’re like vitamins and exercise for the soul.
