2 Peter 1:4 says, “By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

At salvation we are given a measure of faith. Romans 12:3. Peter gave the template that we are to add to our faith. 2 Peter 1:5-7. We are to add virtue which is moral excellence. Knowledge. Self-control. Perseverance. Godliness. Brotherly kindness. Love.

Verse 8 says, “For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What area of your life is spiritually barren?

The Christian walk is about increasing our knowledge of the Lord ~ not head knowledge but experiential. If we don’t know what His character qualities are, then how can we exemplify or represent His character? How does your character line up to His?
