Are you growing?

As followers of Jesus we must ask ourselves often....am I growing in grace and knowledge of Jesus my Lord? It is a lifelong process and a must for all followers!

2 Peter 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Three points to grasp here:

1. Growing in grace: As defined in the bible dictionary grace is undeserved acceptance and love received from another. So we have received this from Jesus and as we grow in grace we are to give it to others unconditionally! Are you growing in grace?

2. Growing in knowledge: The number #1 way to grow in knowledge of Jesus is to be in the word for He is the Word!

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Just like in any relationship, our relationship with Jesus takes work, so work at learning all you can about your Lord!!!!

3. Why do we show grace and why do we learn all we can??? To bring Jesus glory! For He alone is worthy of all glory and honor from us in worship! It is our purpose in life!

So chew on this today and evaluate if you are growing!
