Building Blocks
“Know & Grow””
2 Peter 1:5 

Faith in Jesus is the foundation on which we build
If faith in Jesus is the foundation, then that is what the enemy will attack
 “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” - 1 Timothy 6:12   

We are fighting FROM victory not FOR victory
“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.” -1 John 5:4

Peter is writing to those who are saved about their sanctification, not to the unsaved about their salvation. (2 Peter 1:1-11)

Two Principles about spiritual growth:
	1.	Spiritual growth and physical age have nothing to do with each other
	2.	You can grow as much as you want to spiritually, the secret is to use what God has provided - Faith (vs. 1) - Grow in that faith (vs. 3-11)

Ways we become spiritually mature	
Get the right person to invest in you - Power & promises (vs. 3)
Follow God’s plan & give every effort (vs. 5)
Supplement your faith with: - Virtue/Moral excellence - Knowledge

Be aware of False Teachers/Prophets … our mouths feed our bodies, but our ears feed our faith.
