2 Peter 1:2-7 says:
"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience; and to patience Godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, charity."
The book of 2 Peter expresses Peter's concern for warning believers against false teachers.
I believe that the above verses give instruction as to what is true - know God, know Christ, acknowledge God's promises and add to your faith.
Many of us believe, but when I read these verses, I think about gaining more knowledge by studying the Word more, by expressing more patience, kindness, brotherly love and charity in my life. Praying for patience and temperance on a continual basis is necessary for me also.
As you meditate on these verses, pray and ask God to help you add to your faith in these ways continually.
God bless you and have a great day!
