Spiritual Growth

 Spiritual Growth is an ongoing process of becoming more like the Lord Jesus. As more grace is added to the grace we have already received, the more we mature in the faith and change into the beautiful image and likeness of the Lord Jesus. Just as we need physical exercise and nourishing food for our bodies to grow and develop, we also need spiritual exercise to mature in the faith. We need the milk and meat of the Word to become strong in the Lord and carry out the work that God has prepared for us to do.
 We are to: "Grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." This must be the pinnacle of God's grace, that we increase in our knowing HIM. We are to take hold of the eternal life to which we have been called. We are to pursue with a passion, the intimate and personal relationship to which we have privileged access, as we confess our faults to our Father and keep our eyes on our God and Savior Jesus Christ. 
 Christ should be the center of our worship and praise, for all the things that He has done for us during our brief time on earth. Should we not delight to worship Him in this world and rejoice that in the world to come we will show forth the immeasurable riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
 May we ALL grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, By grace we are saved through faith, by grace we are to live our lives through faith, and one day by God's grace, we will pass into His wonderful presence, when we shall see Him as He is.
2 Peter 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.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may know Jesus more and more with every passing day. We thank You for the amazing grace You have poured out on us and pray that we may grow in grace, day after day, for Your honor and glory. Thank You for Your Word that opens up the glorious truth that Christ died for us, was buried, and rose again so that all who believe on Him might not perish but have everlasting life. We pray that we may grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Whom be all honor and glory both now and into the day of eternity. This we Pray in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
