The Key to Spiritual Growth
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18
Spiritual growth is not mystical, sentimental, devotional, or psychological. It’s not the result of some clever secret or formula. It is simply matching your practice with your position.
As believers, our position in Christ is perfect: we are complete in Him (Col 2:10); we have all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Pet 1:3); and we have received all spiritual blessings (Eph 1:3). But now we need to progress in our daily lives in a way that is commensurate with our exalted position.
Today’s verse provides the most important concept in understanding and experiencing spiritual growth. Giving glory to God is directly related to spiritual growth. Therefore, it is vital that we understand what it means to glorify Him.
