“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.” (2 Peter 1:5-7)

Seven things to add to your Faith

1. Goodness: “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.” (Psalm 37:3 NIV)

2. Knowledge: “The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.” (Prov. 18:15 NIV)

3. Self control: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (Gal. 5:22:23 NASB)

4. Perseverance: “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12 NIV)

5. Godliness: “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:3 NIV)

6. Mutual affection: “Be devoted to each other with mutual affection. Excel at showing respect for each other. (Rom. 12:10 ISV)

7. Love: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Cor. 14:4-7 NIV)
