What to Do With Doubt
71
Peter tells his brothers to “continue to grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 3:18
. When
[114]
the people of God are growing in grace, they will understand His
Word better and better. They will see new light and beauty in its
holy truths. Light and truth have been given to the church in all ages,
and they will be given until the end of time. “The road the righteous
travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight
has come.”
Proverbs 4:18
.
By faith we may look to life in heaven and take hold of God’s
promise that we will forever grow in understanding. In heaven our
powers will unite with God’s powers, and we will be brought in
touch with Him from whom comes the light of truth.
We can be thankful that in heaven all the things that we do not
understand now will be explained and made clear. We may now see
only broken plans and failure, but then we shall see God’s perfect
and beautiful plan for our lives. “What we see now is like a dim
image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know
now is only partial; then it will be complete—as complete as God’s
knowledge of me.”
1 Corinthians 13:12
