2 Peter 3:18

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

When we get born again, we don’t stop growing in the knowledge or the grace of Jesus.  Our lives are just in the infant stages of learning and growing.  Sometimes, God has to root out hurt and pain from the past before we can gain a deeper relationship with Him.  That is why we have to keep studying and hearing the word of God to remove any hurdles from our past.
