Growth and Advancement

 

After accepting Christ, what are we to do?

In what is the Christian to grow?

 

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

 

How may one grow in grace?

 

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.” 2 Peter 1:5-7.  

 

Why does Christ desire this growth in His followers?

 

“And to present herself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:27. 

 

Sources of Spiritual Nourishment

 

What will cause the Christian to grow?

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.” 1 Peter 2:2.

 

In order to grow by the Word of God, what must one do?
