The message “Grow Up in Your Salvation,” based on 1 Peter 2:1–3, teaches that spiritual maturity is an intentional part of the Christian life. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through our good works, but once we are born again, we are called to grow in our relationship with Him and live a life that reflects His holiness. Peter identifies five behaviors believers must put away: malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander, all of which stem from selfishness and a self-centered attitude. Instead, Christians are called to follow the example of Jesus, who demonstrated humility, servanthood, and love for others. Growing in salvation also requires craving pure spiritual nourishment through God's Word, worship, prayer, fellowship, serving, and giving. These practices do not earn salvation; rather, they help us mature in the faith and become more like Christ. Spiritual growth is a process, and we will stumble along the way, but we are not meant to grow alone. God uses the church and other believers to encourage, strengthen, and challenge us as we walk together in faith. Ultimately, because we have experienced the goodness and grace of the Lord, we are called to put aside our old selfish ways, remain connected to Christ and His people, and continually grow into the people God has called us to be
