Grow In Grace and Knowledge

Great advice in my opinion.

2 Peter 3:17-18(NKJV)

17You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 

18but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

I believe that if you focus on this one thing, everything else will pretty much work itself out.  Developing a personal relationship Jesus is the key to life in my opinion.

So how do we get this grace and knowledge?  I believe the grace comes from accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.  That's just a fancy way of saying ask Jesus to come into your life and lead you.  Have you done that yet?

Just have a conversation with Jesus.  Tell Him where you are at in life and what you are looking for.  Let Him know what's missing.  Let Jesus know and I am sure He will help you find it.  "Dear Jesus…."

OK, that covers the grace in your life.  Now how about the knowledge part?  I believe that comes from praying and being in the Word on a consistent basis so that the knowledge of the Bible can be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit who God has sent to guide us once we accept Jesus. 

Once we accept Christ we are responsible for not letting ourselves be led astray.  The best way to guard against that is to know the Scriptures.  Make it a life long quest.  You'll be amazed at the results!
