Static or stagnant


“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”. We see the Holy Spirit working through the Father and Jesus and budding the faith of Peter throughout Scripture. And so important to know, that faith is not static, but it is meant to grow and develop and should never become stagnant.

Our own faith must grow to the point where we can make a similar proclamation.  It is one thing to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, anointed by God to save his people.  But, there is a far greater depth involved in understanding Jesus as God, possessing all the transcendent qualities of the godhead, equal in everything to the Father and the Holy Spirit. 

We could never in a hundred life-times, reach the limits of understanding God.  There is always more and more to learn; and only God can grant us that growth.
