How does one grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ?

2 Peter 3:18 encourages believers to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This growth is cultivated through consistent exposure to Scripture, both privately and within the context of corporate worship. John Reeves explains that just as our bodies need food and hydration, our spirits require the nourishment that comes from hearing the Word preached. Through the Spirit's work at gatherings, believers are equipped and encouraged to deepen their understanding of God's character and His works.
