Things that Go Good with Faith

2 Peter 1 : 5 -8

5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,
7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.


Faith should lead to moral excellence

Moral excellence to knowledge

Knowledge to self-control

Self -control to patient endurance

Patient endurance to godliness

Godliness to brotherly affection

Brotherly affection to love for everyone.
