2 Peter 1:5-7 Moral excellence? Moral excellence!

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Events come, events go, events touch our lives in different ways.

2 Peter 1:5-7 "In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone."

Faith must be more than belief in certain facts; it must result in action, growth in Christian character, and the practice of moral discipline, or it will die away.

Peter lists several of faith's actions: learning to know God better, developing perseverance, doing God's will, loving others. These actions do not come automatically; they require hard work.

They are not optional; all of them must be a continual part of the Christian life. We don't finish one and start on the next, but we work on them all together. God empowers and enables us, but he also gives us the responsibility to learn and to grow. Is your walk one of Jesus? Or, is your walk a wandering through foreign lands? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
