Grow in Grace and Knowledge of our Lord

Spread the love

2 Pet 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen“

Peter tells us we need to grow. Peter’s final plea is that you would grow both in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. There is a way to avoid the problems and traps of false teachers and deception in our days. Grow!

Now, in the natural, growing taller is pretty normal for most people. I’m sure you’ve been successful to some degree! Given the right environment of food, water, light and interaction we all seem to grow physically without too much strain and effort on our part. Well, growing spiritually is exactly the same. Given the right environment, growth will take place automatically and naturally. There is a saying concerning the health of your body that ‘you are what you eat’. Well, you are spiritually what you feed on as well. You need to feed your spirit just as you feed your body for ‘man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.’ (Deut 8:3)
