Spiritual Growth

Mark 4:30-32  . . . God’s Kingdom . . . It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.

John 15:2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

1 Corinthians 3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

2 Corinthians 9:10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness

2 Corinthians 10:15  . . . as your faith grows . . .

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you . . .

Philippians 1:9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment

Colossians 1:6  . . .even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth

1 Thessalonians 4:1  . . .we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

2 Peter 1:5-8  . . . adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge; and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness; and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
