Podcast Summary
Growing in Grace and Knowledge: According to 2 Peter 3:18, Christians must grow in both grace and knowledge by feeding on the logical truth found in the Holy Scriptures. Distinguish between spiritual and carnal Christians and provide appropriate spiritual nourishment.
According to the Apostle Peter, as new Christians, we must grow in both grace and knowledge, which can only be achieved by feeding on the unadulterated, logical truth found in the Holy Scriptures. The Greek word "logicos" used in 2 Peter 3:18, meaning reasonable or logical, emphasizes the importance of grounding our faith in sound doctrine. However, not all Christians are at the same stage of spiritual development. Some may still be carnal, behaving like "babes in Christ" who need both milk and meat to grow. The Bible uses the term "nepios," meaning without speech, to describe such individuals. It is essential to distinguish between spiritual and carnal Christians and provide them with appropriate spiritual nourishment. Ultimately, our goal should be to grow in God's grace and knowledge, bringing glory to Him both now and forever.
