DAILY SUPPLEMENT

 
 
2 Peter 1:5-8


"For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love." ESV


The 'reason' spoken of in this verse is referring to the great and precious promises of God that, accepting them, we will take on His divine nature and be protected from getting swallowed up by this evil world. So, we are commanded to put out great effort in putting on godliness to supplement (reinforce, complete, make efficient) our faith. In doing so, we will be like Him.


Heavenly Father, our desire is to be more like You. Help us to put forth the effort necessary to complete our faith and become more like You. Without You we can do nothing. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
