My fellow brethren I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Now the Father has called us out of darkness and to a life of majesty and goodness. So of you observe your life closely you will clearly see that there is no good quality nor adoration to show for it.
Hear me well, anything that does not line up to that which God has called us to is a paralyzing error and we should not accept it!
One determining factor to this is our ignorance to the knowledge and truth from God’s WORD.
2 Peter 1
- For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
- By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
- For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence),
- And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety),
- And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection, and in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love.
- For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Watch this, if we possess these distinguishing features/characteristics mentioned above we have good success/progress and fruitfulness within our lives but if we do not then we live barren and unproductive lives.
May God our Heavenly Father, help us to apply these qualities in our daily lives through Christ Jesus our Lord-Amen!
