2 Peter 1: 5-7

Transcript

“Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.”

2 Peter 1:5-7 NASB2020

Yesterday we were talking about how our moral excellence develops the knowledge of God. Today we talk about how that knowledge of what God wants for us, which is to love Him and serve Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves …will help us develop the self control we need to follow Christ. The self control to seek Him through His Holy Word, The self control to talk to Him in prayer and all those things will give us the self control we need to be a witness to others even in the midst of the difficulties of life. 

Lord thank you for your perfect and pleasing will. Thank you for giving us the tools to follow you. Help us to use those tools to glorify you so that others may know your amazing and perfect grace. That Grace which gives all who seek Him a relationship with the King and creator of the Universe. 

Shalom, Shalom Blessings. Press in and Press In!
