Once we are born again, we need to take all efforts to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. This is an ongoing process till we reach Home and the Spirit of God will help us and enable us to do so as long as we are yielding to Him...
2 Peter 1:5-11 (New International Version)
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The moment we are born again, God's Kingdom will be built in us. At the same time as Apostle Peter exhorts us, we need to work on the above qualities with the help of the Holy Spirit so that we don't fall short of His Kingdom being established in in us... And when the Kingdom of God is established, the power of the Kingdom will be demonstrated in our lives and we will be used by God for the extending of His Kingdom...
