[Manna - May 14]
Speaking the truth in love,...grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. Ephesians 4:15
WHAT is it to grow in grace?
It is to grow in favor
with the Lord through an intimate personal acquaintance
and fellowship of spirit with Him...To grow
thus in grace and not grow in knowledge is impossible;
for the very object of such communion is to build us
up in a more perfect knowledge and acquaintance with
the Lord—to bring us into closer fellowship with the
divine plan, and to give us the privilege of being
"workers together with Him" in executing that plan.
If, therefore, we love and obey the Lord and desire to
grow in His favor, His written Word is our daily meditation
and study; and thus we grow in knowledge. Z.'03-200 R3215:3
