Belief 11 of 28 · Doctrines of Salvation

Growing in Christ

By His death on the cross, Jesus triumphed over evil powers. As we abide in Him through prayer, Scripture, worship, and service, we grow into the likeness of Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells within and equips us to overcome.

2 Peter 3:18

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
