"Grow in grace" - John MacArthur, Paul Washer, John Piper (Sermon Jam)

John {21:15} Feed my lambs. John {21:16} Feed my sheep. 1 Corinthians {3:1} And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. {3:2} I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it,] neither yet now are ye able. {3:3} For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Ephesians {4:13} 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: {4:14} that we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, Hebrews {5:12} For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Hebrews {5:13} For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. {5:14} But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 1 Peter {2:2} As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 2 Peter {3:18} Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John {2:13} I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father --- "The right manner of growth is to grow less in one’s own eyes.” -Thomas Watson “Oh, the blessedness of that man whose faith is more strong in Christ at last than at first; and whose love is more inflamed in Christ at last than at first; and whose hopes are more raised and elevated in Christ at last than at first; and whose knowledge is more clear in Christ at last than at first; and whose zeal is warmer in Christ at last than at first; and whose thoughts are more heavenly in Christ at last than at first; and whose heart is more spiritual in Christ at last than at first; and whose communion with God is more high in Christ at last than at first; and whose life is more holy in Christ at last than at first.” -Thomas Brooks "I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work; but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.. that man is full of boldness and is successful." -D.L. Moody "The hardest part of a missionary career is to maintain regular, prayerful Bible study. Satan will always find you something to do, when you ought to be occupied about that!" -Hudson Taylor "If I had prayed more earnestly, I would have made much more rapid progress in my faith." -George Mueller “Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word." -C.H. Spurgeon "We can never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father." -E.M. Bounds “All believers do not possess an equally clear and full knowledge of Christ. To some He is more fully revealed, whilst others have a vaguer view and lesser apprehension of Him, which constitutes the difference between a strong and a weak Christian. The weaker believer knows but little of Christ and therefore does not trust or delight in Him so much as does a stronger one, for the latter differs from him in that he is led into a closer and fuller acquaintance with the Savior.” -A.W. Pink "The child cannot know and love the mother as the mother loves the child. With age, the child grows to know the mother better and to enjoy her company in new, fulfilling ways… As we grow spiritually, we will come to know more and more of God.” -Sundar Singh “Every time you glory in your weakness, each time the power of Christ will overshadow you. Every time you say you cannot, every time God manifests His might. By continually doing this, you will constantly grow.” -Watchman Nee "The only way our faith to GROW is to have it proven. God puts our faith to test not only to cause us to grow and to satisfy His own heart but also to stop Satan’s mouth... However, too many, even before the Lord raises a hand, are already upset. Oh, we must realize that all the experiences, troubles and trials which the Lord sends us are for our highest good. We cannot expect the Lord to give better things, for these are His best.” -Watchman Nee "Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience." -Watchman Nee "The increase of our knowledge of the Holy Scriptures is not spiritual growth. Only the increase of Christ in us is spiritual growth." -Watchman Nee
