       Peter has said in his epistle, “Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good” (1 Peter, 2:2, ESV). Therefore, when we become saved, we are like newborn infants in regard to the understanding of spiritual things, in regard to the understanding of the Bible. And thus, we learn, learn, and learn, more and more regarding Biblical things, and we grow in knowledge. This spiritual milk causes us to grow, and then eventually, after a long time, we get into the spiritual meat. Peter didn’t even talk about that. But that seems to be a fair assessment. Going back to what Paul told the Colossians, the knowledge, as we learn it, actually renews us day after day into being in the image of our Creator, into the image of God, into the image of Christ. We are called Christ-ians, so we should resemble Christ in some manner, right?
