The apostle Paul assured the Thessalonians that they'd learned how to walk pleasing before the Lord. He told them, "Ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God" (1 Thessalonians 4:1). Paul then added this exhortation: "So ye would abound more and more" (4:1).
To abound means to increase. Paul was saying, "You've been sitting under sound gospel preaching. So now you have a solid foundation beneath you. Therefore, you ought to be increasing in grace in all ways -- in your faith, your knowledge, your love."

Paul also spoke of such abounding to the Corinthians: "As ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also" (2 Corinthians 8:7). He said, in other words, "God's Spirit has wrought major changes in your life. Therefore, you ought to be giving more of yourself in all ways -- in your time, your finances, your talents."

These passages make it clear: everyone who's been fed God's word is expected to grow in grace. God has endowed gifts to pastors, teachers, prophets and evangelists for this express purpose: to cause his church to grow. No believer is to remain a babe in Christ. We're expected to grow in him so that we're not carried away by any false thing.

Jesus himself speaks of a constant increase in our lives: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Christ commended the church at Thyatira for having grown in grace: "I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first" (Revelation 2:19). Jesus was saying, in essence, "You're more intense now than when you started out. You've allowed my life in you to grow more abundant."

Proverbs echoes this: "The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18). And Job declares, "The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger" (Job 17:9).

We see there is no place for sloth, laziness or stunted growth in the body of Christ. So, how do you feel about your growth in the Lord? Do you see a constant increase of faith, hope, love, giving? If so, how can you measure your growth?
