Rich (Online) Resources for Growing in Grace
Peter wrote to fellow believers who were suffering and scattered abroad (1 Pet 1:1–2; cf. 2 Pet 3:1). He admonished his brothers and sisters, that even though they were in a time of hardship, they could still “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18 ESV).
Below are two resources that could help us all grow in grace during our own time of hardship.
