What does the Bible say about growing in grace?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible emphasizes that growth in grace is connected to an increase in knowledge of Christ and an acknowledgment of our need for God’s grace.

The concept of growing in grace is significantly rooted in Scripture, particularly in Peter's exhortation to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior (2 Peter 3:18). This growth is not merely intellectual but is intimately linked to our understanding and appreciation of the doctrine of grace itself. In Ephesians 4:14, Paul warns against being 'tossed to and fro' by various teachings, highlighting that a solid understanding of grace leads to stability and maturity in the faith. As believers deepen their relationship with Christ, they become more aware of their need for grace, which reflects genuine growth. Thus, growth in grace encompasses both a heart established in God's grace and an increasing graciousness towards others.
