In Scripture, growth is often used metaphorically to describe the maturation of faith, the expansion of God's kingdom, and the increase of wisdom and understanding among believers.<br><br><b>Physical Growth:</b><br>Physical growth is acknowledged in the Bible as a natural part of life. In <a href="/luke/2-52.htm">Luke 2:52</a>, it is noted that "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." This verse highlights the holistic development of Jesus, encompassing physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth.<br><br><b>Spiritual Growth:</b><br>Spiritual growth is a central focus in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to mature in their faith. In <a href="/2_peter/3-18.htm">2 Peter 3:18</a>, the apostle Peter exhorts Christians to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." This growth is not merely an increase in knowledge but involves a deeper relationship with Christ and a more profound understanding of His teachings.<br><br>The Apostle Paul frequently addresses spiritual growth in his epistles. In <a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15</a>, he writes, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head." Here, growth is associated with unity and maturity within the body of Christ, emphasizing the importance of love and truth in the process.<br><br><b>Growth of the Kingdom:</b><br>The growth of God's kingdom is another significant theme. Jesus uses parables to illustrate this concept, such as the Parable of the Mustard Seed in <a href="/matthew/13-31.htm">Matthew 13:31-32</a>: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches." This parable demonstrates how the kingdom of God starts small but grows to have a significant impact.<br><br><b>Growth in Wisdom and Understanding:</b><br>The Bible also emphasizes the importance of growing in wisdom and understanding. <a href="/proverbs/1-5.htm">Proverbs 1:5</a> states, "Let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel." Growth in wisdom is portrayed as a lifelong pursuit, essential for living a life that honors God.<br><br><b>Obstacles to Growth:</b><br>Scripture acknowledges that growth can be hindered by various factors. In the Parable of the Sower (<a href="/matthew/13-3.htm">Matthew 13:3-9, 18</a>-23), Jesus describes how different types of soil affect the growth of seeds, symbolizing how different conditions of the heart can impact spiritual growth. Thorns, representing the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth, can choke the word, making it unfruitful.<br><br><b>Encouragement to Grow:</b><br>Believers are encouraged to actively pursue growth. <a href="/hebrews/5-12.htm">Hebrews 5:12-14</a> admonishes those who remain spiritually immature, urging them to move beyond elementary teachings and grow into maturity. The passage highlights the expectation that believers should progress in their understanding and application of God's word.<br><br>In summary, the Bible presents growth as an essential aspect of the Christian life, encompassing physical, spiritual, and intellectual dimensions. It is a process that requires intentionality, perseverance, and reliance on God's grace. Through growth, believers are better equipped to fulfill their purpose and contribute to the expansion of God's kingdom.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/305.htm"><span class="l">305. anabaino -- to go up, ascend</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 3), came (7), climbed (1), climbs (1), come (4), comes (2), coming (3), entered<br> (2), go (6), goes (1), going (6), gone (3), got (2), grew (1), <b>grows</b> (1), rises <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/305.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 9k</font><p><a href="/greek/837.htm"><span class="l">837. auxano -- to make to grow, to grow</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to make to grow, to grow NASB Word Usage causes the growth (1), causing the growth<br> (1), full grown (1), grew (1), grow (8), growing (2), <b>grows</b> (2), increase (2 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/837.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/2210.htm"><span class="l">2210. zemioo -- to damage, suffer loss</span></a> <br><b>...</b> the irony of how .
