You ever hear the saying “he doesn’t have 30 years of experience, he just has one year of experience that he has repeated for 30 years. Many Christians are like that. Christians for years… but only a few years of growth under their belt.

2 Peter 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Grow - You gotta do the basics to grow. Plant, water harvest. Read pray and obey.
Grace and knowledge - The greek is not decisive here in this context. It does not render the coupling of the subjective and the objective together… whuh?
What I am trying to say is the literal translation says grow in grace knowledge.
Grace here means being governed by the power of the Holy Spirit. The empowerment to live free of sin and not just the grace that saves us.
Working knowledge from experience.
You work out, you build muscle and you learn how to train your body better, you learn nutrition, you learn new exercises… and ultimately everyone notices. “wow that dude is built, wow he is strong, wow he knows how to train”. This is the same way for us spiritually.
Glorify him - MGLG
We as men want to look good. We know how to posture…
I went to the store today… oh yea? I stored up Gods word in my heart.
Until eternity - its never ending, the rest of your life.
Peter started his letter saying the same thing 1:5
Our Christian walk is about the basics.
It starts and ends with the basics.
But let me throw you one more curve ball. The verse just before 18 (yes that would be verse 17… I know Im pretty smart) says this.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.
This is saying it is not just about the basics, but it is about knowing (being forwarded) about what areas you may be attacked)
Its a simple question we need to ask our selves on a regular basis. If satan was going to attack me, where would his best shot be taken…i.e. where am I most weak.
Marriage, porn, money, Relationships, fatherhood, discipline,
Start your basics there.
