Increase in Every Area
// Tad Gregurich
THE LIFE OF the Christian is one of increase. We're not supposed to be tomorrow what we are today. We need to be constantly growing in the things of God. Why? Because the greater our increase—the greater our capacity—the greater power we'll have available to us. And that means we'll be able to accomplish more for the Kingdom of God.
The Bible says we are to increase in several areas.
1. WE ARE TO INCREASE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD (COL. 1:10). We are to know what the Word says about our Heavenly Father. What does this do? It increases our capacity to have faith. Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17).
2. WE ARE TO INCREASE IN LOVE (PHIL. 1:9, 1 THESS. 3:12). God doesn't have love—He is love. And He wants us to abound in His love. He wants us to love one another.
