Grow in knowledge
2 Pet 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Growth is required in all facet of life. We are admonished to grow in knowledge of our lord Jesus Christ.
This is important because many a christian today have been babes ever ...in prayer ...in word ...in fellowship
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1 Pet 2:2
Grow ...auzano ...gk... to increase ...enlarge ... to grow, your knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Knowledge ....gnosis ..gk.. the act of knowing ...knowledge ....science
In other words, we have to put to work our act of knowing who and what and why Jesus came into the world made by him. Improve yourself.
This act of knowing Jesus must grow and increase and put to work. It is knowing the facts about Jesus which is good. Only this will not change or affect your relationship with him
3 other forms of knowledge ...ginosko ..gk ...epiginosko ..gk ....epiginosis ..gk... will help us to fully grow in the knowledge of our lord Jesus Christ and affect our relationship with him
Knowing Jesus is all about relationship and the atmosphere produced by it. Knowing Jesus is by revelation and a calling.
Grow in ...ginosko ...gk ...revelation knowledge. The Spirit of God bears witness that you are his and become one with him. Your fellowship with the father will bring the revelation of him to you.
Grow in ...epiginosko...gk..to know accurately and well ...to recognise ...to perceive ...to ascertain or find out ...to understand. This will be acheived by the search of the scriptures.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Jn 5:39
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15
Grow in ...epignosis ...gk... full knowledge ...full discernment ... full recognition.
This will change your thoughts and affect your actions because of your full knowledge and continous relationship with him.
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Grow then in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and apply yourself to your work, working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Shalom!!!
