THE BIGGEST ROOM

"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, now and forever." (2 Peter 3:18)

The biggest room, they say, is the room for improvement. Growth is a never-ending process _ at least it should be. When all growth stops, everything begins to deteriorate.

In the second book of Peter, we are commanded keep growing in grace and knowledge. This means not only are we to keep growing in christian character or "Christ-likeness" but also in understanding and knowledge. We must endevour to know more and more. Our previously held ideas and beliefs need to be challenged by the word of God continually. May we never come to the place in our lives where pride prevents us from learning _ where we say "I know it already." God cannot use whom He cannot teach. Learning the truth produces right knowledge, and right knowledge produces right character.

Let us keep on growing in the Lord and continually desire to go deeper in the Word of God by diligently studying. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Your friend,

Pastor Sherwin D Ramos
