10 Bible Verses About Spiritual Growth

Like newborn babies, crave the pure milk of God’s word, so that by it you may grow up into salvation,

so that you may live in a way worthy of the Lord and please him in every way, bearing fruit in every kind of good work and growing in the knowledge of God.

Instead, as we speak the truth in love, we must grow in every respect into him, the head, Christ.

That person is like a tree set out beside channels of water, which bears its fruit when its season comes, and whose leaves never dry up. Whatever they do turns out well.

Of this I am convinced: the one who started a good work in you will keep working at it until it is finished on the day of Christ Jesus.

They will be like a tree set out beside the water, that sends its roots out along a stream. It has no fear when the heat comes; its leaves stay green. In a year of drought it has no worries, and it never stops bearing fruit.

Let us know the LORD; let us press on to know him. His coming is as certain as the sunrise; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rain that waters the land.”

And this is what I pray: that your love will overflow more and more, with full knowledge and every kind of insight,

As for you, may the Lord fill you to overflowing with love for each other and for all people, the kind of love we have for you.
