Lorsque je parle d'un homme qui "grandit dans la grâce", je veux dire simplement que son sens du péché devient plus profond, sa foi plus forte, son espérance plus vive, son amour plus étendu, son esprit spirituel plus marqué. Il ressent davantage la puissance de la piété dans son propre cœur. Il la manifeste davantage dans sa vie. Il va de force en force, de foi en foi, de grâce en grâce.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 166.
When I speak of a man “growing in grace,” I mean simply this – that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual-mindedness more marked. He feels more of the power of godliness in his own heart. He manifests more of it in his life. He is going on from strength to strength, from faith to faith, and from grace to grace.
