~ A PATHWAY TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY.
The Bible emphasizes the importance of growing in grace as a core aspect of the Christian life, moving from spiritual infancy to maturity in Christ.
This growth is not about earning more grace (God’s grace is an undeserved gift received through faith), but about deepening our understanding and experience of God’s abundant favor and allowing it to transform us into His likeness.

Faith as tiny as a mustard seed can move mountains.
( Read Matthew 17:20)
Also, 2 Peter 3:18 encourages believers to
β grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
This growth in knowledge involves developing a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
Knowing Jesusβ character, love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and generosity leads us to loving Him more and becoming more like Him.
This knowledge comes through daily Bible reading and study.
We are to lean on The Holy Spirit to aids in understanding and applying these truths.
Teaching and listening to sound Scriptural teaching also helps apply the knowledge of God and His grace to every aspect of life

Let your light shine before others for the glory of God.
Jesus said in Matthewβ¬ β5β¬:β16β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬

Growing in grace involves deepening the relationship with Jesus Christ through increasing knowledge of Him, engaging in spiritual disciplines, and walking in humility and service to others.
It is an ongoing journey that requires intentional effort and reliance on God’s power to transform.
