Grow in grace and knowledge! 

 

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18

 

Deep knowledge of Christ is required for every Christian to remain vigilant in times of deception, trials, and even at the second coming of Christ. Christ gave  an illustration in Mark 13:22, of how the elects may be vulnerable to be ensnared by false prophets and teachers if they are not deeply rooted in the knowledge of Christ.

You and I have been given a promise  of the appearance of Jesus to redeem  all of His saints to meet Him. 2 Peter 3:12-13. You have a role to play so that Christ will meet you worthy without guilt, sin, or any form of wickedness. To be worthy of this, you have to be full of the knowledge of Christ which will birth you the grace to run the race to the end.  John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

 

Dear reader I know you have been blessed this morning, grow in the knowledge of Jesus, try and know Him better, study the word and follow His teachings. 

 

Conclusion:

The only way to prepare yourself worthy prior to the second coming of our Lord, is to be full in the knowledge of Christ of which will give you the grace to remain vigilant and watchful.
