“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” 2 Peter 1:2
God’s grace is His unmerited favour made known through Jesus Christ, and it is expressed in the redemption and full forgiveness of sin through faith in Him Titus 2:11-12.
In 2 Peter 3:18, the Holy Spirit admonishes us to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. This establishes the growth of God’s grace in the life of every believer as a rule of Christian living.
In Ephesians 4:13, the Holy Spirit further tells us that Christian growth must continue until we become perfect in faith and in the knowledge of God, to the measure of the fullness of Christ.
The Christian life is not meant to be stagnant; rather, it must be a progressive experience of encounters with God. Through constant Bible study and emphasis on growth in grace, let us daily aim to be perfect in our Christian character.
Father, please don’t let me remain stagnant, help me to grow daily in You in Jesus Name.
Shalom!
