Grow Up in The Word

Jul31

New to salvation? Don’t stop there.

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
1 Peter 2:2 NASB

God has a plan to grow you called sanctification. Are you longing for the pure milk of the word? As babies progress from milk to solids, the newborn Christian grows from salvation to righteous living.

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13‭-‬14 NASB

Are you practicing what you are reading in God’s word?

With faithful reading and application of God’s word comes blessing and a thankful heart to God.

How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.
Psalms 119:2‭, ‬7 NASB

Will you make the word of God a habit until it becomes your treasure?

🌹Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.
I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word.
Psalms 119:11‭, ‬15‭-‬16 NASB

AMEN.

Like Newborn Babies

Sep10

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, — 1 Peter 2:2

“like newborn babies”. As I watch my new granddaughter long for the milk, sometimes not very quietly, every two to three hours it brings to mind that she needs this to grow big and strong. Most newborn babies lose weight their first week of life but my granddaughter has gained a quarter pound already. She longs to feed. She needs it, longs for it, cries for it and is not satisfied until she is full.

I thought, how do I long for the Word of God? If I am going to grow in my salvation I need to feed on the Word of God. I need to long for it as a baby longs for milk. Is my desire so strong that I cry out for it if I am not fed regularly?

Are you losing weight or gaining weight? The Word is necessary for growth in your Christian faith. How many meals do you miss in a day? How many opportunities pass by you to be in the Word in a day? Are you suffering from malnutrition? Why not try some Word today and nourish your spiritual life. Give it a try, it may be as honey to your lips.

How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! — Psalm 119:103

Continually seeking Him,
