What does the Bible say about growing in grace?

Answered in 45 sources

The Bible encourages believers to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, emphasizing dependence on God's grace for spiritual growth.

In 2 Peter 3:18, the Apostle Peter exhorts believers to 'grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.' This growth represents spiritual maturity and reliance on God's grace rather than personal achievements. The context highlights that true growth derives from recognizing our complete reliance on Christ, who is our steadfastness, and understanding that we are saved by grace alone. As we reflect on our spiritual journey, it becomes evident that genuine growth leads to a deeper appreciation of God’s unmerited favor and a desire to know Christ more intimately.
