Growing In The Knowledge Of God...

Growing in the Knowledge of God
This verse will completely set the stage for you to be able to receive direct knowledge from the Lord. This first verse is literally telling us that God is wanting us to grow in the knowledge of Him and His Son Jesus.

"... but GROW in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18)

This verse is only one short sentence long, but a lot is being said in it. After we get saved, God expects us to start growing in the knowledge that He wants to transmit to us. And the only way we can spiritually grow is by seeking after the knowledge that will cause this growth to occur in the first place!

This right here is why many Christiansdo not make much spiritual growth over the course of their lives after they initially get saved - because they are not seeking after the knowledge of God that will cause this spiritual growth to occur in the first place.

Can I just put my encougement in here for those that feel that they are not growing. As Christian we go through phases where God shapes us into what He would like us to be--of course we have to allow Him-- But sometimes we feel like we are in the desert and it isn't always because we aren't doing what we are supposed to be doing, it's all God's timing. Other times He prunes us which usually means we are going through a rough patch and it is not a direct punishment to our sin but rather He is refining us to make us better Christians.
