Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3-8 (The Message)
3-4Everything
that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us
by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us
to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given
absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you - your tickets to
participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a life
corrupted by lust.
5-9So
don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given,
complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual
understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder,
warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and
developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your
lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its
reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without
these qualities you can't see what's right before you , oblivious that
your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
