Adding To Our Faith (Virtue)

2 Peter 1:5 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;”

Giving all diligence…

To do quickly, or make haste, eagerness, to do your best

This is not something to take lightly or that we should sleep on but to do ASAP

Add to your faith…

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Faith was never mean’t to be left alone

Faith should be active and at work

James 2:14 “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?”

Virtue…

Moral excellence, excellence of Character, Great Courage

It’s going to take courage to live for God

Taking a stand for God isn’t always easy.

Daniel taking a stand for prayer

The Three Hebrews not bowing to false idols

You may have to give up some things you don’t want to.

You may have to do some things you didn’t plan on doing.

WILL YOU TRUST GOD?

Pick up YOUR cross.
