Sunday, November 30 Keep holding the pattern of healthful words.—2 Tim. 1:13. Those “healthful words” are found in God’s Word. (1 Tim. 6:3) Just as an artist’s sketch provides us with a general picture, ‘the pattern of truth’ provides a broad outline for us to perceive and follow what Jehovah requires of us. After taking in knowledge, we develop faith. But we should continue to grow in both respects. (2 Thess. 1:3) Growth involves a progressive series of changes. “To grow” means to increase, to enlarge. Thus, after baptism, we need to continue to develop our spirituality so that our growth does not become stunted. During our initial period of Bible study, we may quickly grow spiritually and then get baptized. In the following years, our continued spiritual growth may not be as noticeable. Nevertheless, we still need to grow in faith and knowledge “to a full-grown man, to the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of the Christ.”—Eph. 4:13. w13 3/15 wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2014/11/30
