1 | Grow in grace? | 2 Pet 3:18 | EdB | 73537 | ||
Mommapbs Yes there is a difference. "The" grace was imputed to us for our salvation and teaching each of us to deny ungodliness, worldly lust that we should live soberly, righteously and godly always looking for blessed hope and glorious soon appearing of our Lord Titus 2:11-13. Growing in grace means we are learning these lessons and these attributes are being accomplished in our lives and we are becoming more Christ like. EdB |

2 | Grow in grace? | 2 Pet 3:18 | Mommapbs | 73546 | ||
EdB, again thank you for your response! Does one become better and better or are we the BEST in Christ at the moment of conversion? If we are to grow in grace, does this mean that we get more of it as we are strive to be more like Him. This has the ring of "performance Christianity" to me. So I submit that we grow in THE grace. Everything is ours when we accept Christ by faith - yet we enjoy the benefits of our possession in ever increasing measure as we allow the Holy Spirit to do His work of transformation in our lives. Does this make sense? mommapbs PS: Just another thought . . . According to the NASB, Jesus dis not grow in grace! "The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and THE GRACE of God was upon Him." Luke 2:40 Where do we get THE Grace - from the One to Whom it was given, Jesus! |

3 | Grow in grace? | 2 Pet 3:18 | EdB | 73551 | ||
Mommapbs The more of the Word we pour into our lives the greater the changes that take place. I'm convinced if we will saturate ourselves with the Word the way we do so many things of the world that we would be almost terrified to know how God could/would use us. EdB |
