Q. 5. What is the third respect or manner of its growth?
A. It grows in respect of its abilities to fix the mind more steadily on spiritual things. Hence grown Christians are called spiritual men. Gal. 6.1. Ye which are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness.
Q. 6. Why must all true Grace grow?
A. Because there is a Stature to which Christians are appointed. Eph. 4.12, 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
