day no. 16,294: rightly understood and gratefully experienced

"The Christian life, broadly speaking, is but the enjoyment of Christian truth rightly understood and gratefully experienced." - B.B. Warfield

We are commanded to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in 2 Peter 3:18 and Warfield here points out that these disciplines, in short, embody the whole of the Christian life and livelihood.

As we grow in knowledge, we grow in our enjoyment of His Truth. The more we learn, the more there is to love and what we gain aids us in better loving that which we already knew.

As we grow in grace, we grow in our gratitude. The more we are given, the more we have to be grateful for and what we gain in grace aids us in better appreciating all that we have already been given.

Christianity is deeply and eternally satisfying. Because there is no end to God, there are always new truths to learn and old truths to better appreciate and more grace to be had and grace already given to better actualize.
