5 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, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
FAITH
We seek to be more like Jesus.
We can because of God’s precious promises.
Growth in godliness requires intentional discipline.
We must cooperate with God and by faith we can.
Note the virtues listed above and they build on each other.
Our walk by faith builds through each of these virtues.
Only by the grace of God can we change and grow.
We have this promise from God that we can do this.
True faith results in a transformed life.
