START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 2 Peter 1:8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
IF YOU POSSESS THESE WUALITIES IN INCREASING MEASURE / 2 PETER 1:8
- Peter is not implying that a Christian has to develop these traits in a precise order, one after the other, until they reach maturity or perfection. Instead, all of these qualities are to be cultivated all together and continually.
- The Christian experiences (a continuous relationship with the living God) should never remain stationary or stagnant. In fact, it could be said that if a person is not growing in faith, he or she is withering and dying spiritually (John 15:2). A person certainly cannot be productive to the fullest measure in serving God apart from consistent growth in faith, character and personal companionship with Jesus (Colossians 1:10; Titus 3:14). If we ever find that we are not being effective in our service to God, we must examine our lives to ensure that we are indeed growing in the character traits mentioned in (2 Peter 1:5-8).
