Spiritual Growth
1 Peter 2:2-3
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord
is good.
(NIV)
2 Peter 1:5-11
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to
goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control,
perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities
in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and
unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But if anyone does
not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been
cleansed from his past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and
election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11 and you will
receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
NIV
Col 1:10
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,...
(NIV)
2 Peter 3:17-18
Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the
error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
(NIV)
Just as with our natural walk, we start as infants. "Babes in Christ". Growth will come naturally, but decide to get educated and decide you want exponential growth. God will be blessed because you did.
