Are you versed in these Christian graces…
Seeing as His divine power have granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness…if you need it for your physical life or you need it to be godly…God has already planned…already provided…that what you need all you need to do is call on Him for it…
Through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue whereby he granted unto us his precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption in the world by lust…
…Divine nature those born of God…those born of the Holy Spirit…John 3:5, except you be born of the water and the spirit you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God…as it is written in 2 Cor 5:17, you are a new creature in Christ…Having been baptized for the remission of sins and to receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through baptism (Acts 2:38-39)…having been made a partaker of the divine nature…God rebirthed you of His Spirit…
Yes and for this very cause adding on your part…give all your effort…in your faith…in your obedience to the truth…supply virtue…the no ill will love…moral excellence…add to your virtue…knowledge knowing what to do…knowledge…add to your knowledge the applying of knowledge or the self-control…the doing of it… and your self-control patience or endurance…the doing of it even though it gets difficult… add to your endurance…godliness because you're acting like God doing the right thing every day... And then godliness add brotherly kindness…or love for Christians…brotherly kindness the sharing of God's blessings and your talents with other Christians…then add to brotherly kindness the doing it, God’s will or love to anyone…add to Christian kindness…love for all men…
for if these things be in you and your bound, they make you neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ…
Are you praying for these Christian graces…are you growing in these Christian graces…had a preacher once said pick one and work on them one all year long…work on virtue all year… work on patience all year long…before long ten years down the road you developed so much characters that are Christ like…and are well on your way in developing the character fit for heaven…
Father, we pray that you would supply all of our need for everything we need for life and to be godly like Jesus we pray that you might add to us faith…virtue…morals and especially the diligence and zeal and pray that you would forgive us of our sin and cleanse us from the unholy in Jesus of Nazareth name amen.
