If words in the Bible mean anything, there is such a thing as “growth,” and believers ought to be exhorted to “grow.” – What says Paul? “Your faith groweth exceedingly.” (2 Thessalonians 1:3). “We beseech you that ye increase more and more.” (1 Thessalonians 4:10). “Increasing in the knowledge of God.” (Colossians 1:10).
