#gospel #sermons #preaching #bible #church #preaching VIDEO TOPIC: GROWING AS GOD WANTS 2 PETER 3:18 HOSEA 4:6 Overview created by AI Growing as God wants, according to 2 Peter 3:18, means growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, a continuous process of spiritual development toward maturity in Him. Hosea 4:6 warns that the lack of knowledge of God leads to destruction because the people reject divine instruction, resulting in the forgetting of God's Law and its consequences. Both verses emphasize the vital importance of the knowledge and grace of God for a thriving Christian life and the danger of ignoring them. 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV): The Call to Grow in Grace and Knowledge "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." Meaning: This verse is an exhortation to spiritual maturity, not only to receive salvation, but to deepen it. Grace: Understanding and living under God's undeserved favor, experiencing His transforming power. Knowledge: A deep and personal knowledge of Jesus, not only intellectual, but experiential, leading to a more intimate relationship and a life according to His will. Hosea 4:6: The Consequence of Lack of Knowledge "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you, and you will not be a priest to me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." Meaning: Disobedience and estrangement from God occur when His people reject His Word and His teaching. Destruction: Lack of knowledge of God's Law leads to spiritual and relational ruin. Rejection: God Himself sets apart those who reject His knowledge and His law, preventing them from fulfilling their spiritual roles (such as being priests). Conclusion: The Path to "Growing as God Intends" To grow as God intends (2 Peter 3:18), you must actively seek His grace and knowledge, and this implies not rejecting His law and teaching (Hosea 4:6). The Christian life is a path of constant growth, where ignorance of God is dangerous and leads to estrangement, while knowledge of Jesus and dependence on His grace are the path to a full and glorious life for God.
