Press Onward
It is not sufficient to be established and grounded in the faith, we must daily increase and grow and more therein… It is the holy ambition of Christians to be more like God every day… None are so knowing but that they may know more… Here we are in a state of progress, not of rest and perfection… always reaching forth and pressing onward.
To grow in faith means to persevere in faith. Man is of an active nature; either he grows better or worse. We shall not keep what we have received if we do not labour to increase in it, as a house begun to be built goes to decay and drops down more and more, if we do not go on to finish it.
