START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 2 Peter 1:5-7
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
ADD TO YOUR FAITH / 2 PETER 1:5-7
Peter lists the positive character traits that a Christian must develop in order to be spiritually victorious, effective and productive in serving God (2 Peter 1:8). But false teachers had been teaching just the opposite: their special knowledge made some of these traits, such as self-control, unnecessary. But Peter makes it clear that Christians are to develop these traits. The phrase “make every effort” clearly explains that believers must be actively involved in their personal Christian growth (Philippians 2:12; Philippians 2:13). Those who become Christians should make it their goal to develop in their faith the list of seven qualities included in these few verses (2 Peter 1:5-8). Note that godly characteristics do not automatically grow without our dependence on God and our diligent effort to develop them.
