Mi Entire family Bible Comment Growt h in Grace Is a Process Which Never Stops nnHE apostle, Peter, in the clos ing of his Second. Epistle, ad monished his fellow Christians to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Our Lord and Sav ior Jesus Christ." With regard to the great essen tials of the Gospel of Christ in its proclamation of the power and saving grace of God, and in the application and manifestation of the Gospel in personal char acter and conduct, there was no division among the great found ers of Christianity, regardless of how much they might differ on ' minor matters. So Peter, in his call for growth in grace, is only expressing what Paul emphasized in many ways throughout his Epistles. In Paul's epistles the word "grace" occurs twice as often as in all the rest of the New Testament. A com mentator has pointed out that it is the first word of greeting, and the last word of farewell, ' in Paul's letters. In Luke, the reference is to "the - gracious words" of Jesus, as He spoke in the synagogue at Nazareth. And in Colossians, Paul advises the disciples there to "let (their) speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt." (A good counsel for our own time, especially as it is a way of knowing "how to answer every man.") But grace, for Paul, in greet ing, farewell, conversation, or manners always had its meaning in the grace of God manifest fn Jesus Christ. Here, as it was the source and power of salvation, was the source of power for Christian living. It was not something static; attained once-and-for-all and never changing or growing. It was dynamic; a force ever-present and ever-active. Grace, one of the most precious riches given to us by Christ, is as inexhaustible as it is unsearch able.
