Growing in Grace

“Given the depravity and fragility of human life, and spiritual torpor if left to itself, divine grace and its continual growth is utterly needful for true human flourishing, both on an individual level and corporate plane, and most importantly, for preparation for life in the world to come. This fine collection of essays explores this necessity from a variety of angles and is a tremendous reminder of how beholden we all are to our gracious Maker and Friend for every aspect of our existence, and particularly for our growth. If you wish to grow in God’s grace intellectually, experientially, and practically, read this book prayerfully and implement its counsel practically.”

“How precious are the last words of those we love! So with the apostle Peter, ‘Grow in grace!’ (2 Peter 3:18), he cries, and dies. This is his last will and testimony to the people of God. What is your last testimony going to be like? The Pilgrim’s Regress? Stagnation? Or, growing in evangelistic usefulness, in simple and experiential knowledge of the Bible, in fellowship with Jesus Christ, and in living a useful life as His disciple? Does this sound good? Sure it does, and it is attainable. Sanctification is effectual in all the elect, and this book will certainly help you mightily to grow in it in a variety of Bible-based, Christ-centered ways, if you read it carefully and prayerfully—and take it to heart!”

“The Apostle Peter tells us we are to ‘grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (2 Peter 3:18). Praise God that His imperatives are accompanied by majestic indicatives. The Growing in Grace conference addresses in this book root our souls in the rich soil of God’s sure and certain truth, the promises of His never failing enablement, and the certainty of our conformity to the image of His beloved Son. These messages are saturated with clear, faithful exposition of the Scriptures, fidelity to confessional Reformed theology and rich experiential application. I’ve been fortunate to have attended nine of the last ten PRTS conferences and unhesitatingly testify to how greatly they have informed my mind, warmed my heart, and moved my life to serve the Savior more earnestly each year.”
