9 I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. 10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.
My prayer for myself and for everyone who reads this stuff is the same as Paul’s. To keep growing in knowledge and understanding, and most importantly to understand what really matters. How do you grow in knowledge and understanding? It’s not that hard, you do it through prayer, regular Bible reading and being a part of a good Christ-Bible centered church. If the Pastor does not say turn to page whatever in your Bible you may be in the wrong church. Surrounding yourself with other believers makes you more accountable to do the work needed for growth. Then when you get to verse 10 what is it that matters? Is it family, security, comfort, money, or whatever earthly thing you desire? What really matters in fact the only thing that matters is Christ. Everything else can and will vanish in the blink of an eye but Christ is forever and your relationship with him determines where you will spend eternity.
We cannot live actual pure and blameless lives but through sanctification and the grace of God we can be working towards it everyday not in our own power but by relying on the Holy Spirit.
