Real Spiritual Growth - 2 Peter 3: 18
There's no neutral position at all
in the spiritual battle forward and back
that's the only two positions that exist
so Peter tells us how to keep on track
If you're going forward that's good
for then you're not going back
but if you're going in reverse
you're letting yourself go off track
Peter the apostle speaks clearly
giving an exhortation to grow
in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ the saviour the one we know
Being instructed in what Jesus taught
is the source to be scripturally mature
moving on praying in Jesus name
to your heavenly father for your cure
Filled with God's Holy Spirit
fellowshipping with His own ransomed crew
continually putting sin to death
showing marks of holiness and humility to name a few
This indeed is what God requires
from His blood-bought ones
for to Him, glory will they bring
showing they are real true sons
AUTHOR NOTES: 'But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.' 2 Peter 3 v. 18(ESV)
