Growing in grace involves seeking a deeper knowledge of Christ and relying on His sufficiency alone for spiritual growth.
The sermon emphasizes that growing in grace is closely tied to knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). Growth is not just about adding to our knowledge, but it requires a reliance on Christ's sufficiency and grace in all aspects of life. As we recognize Christ as our all (Colossians 3:11), we cultivate a deeper relationship with Him, allowing His character to shape ours. Moreover, this growth can only happen when we feed our souls continually on His Word and the gospel, ensuring that our hearts remain tender and receptive instead of becoming weary or indifferent towards the teachings of Christ, which are always relevant and life-giving.
