Got Faith?

Well, that's good, but where discipleship is concerned, faith is only the beginning of the journey. Those who have faith are admonished to ADD to their faith:

"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." (II Peter 1:5-7)

There's a promise given for those who heed this admonition...

"For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." (II Peter 1:8)

And a warning for those who do not...

"But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins." (II Peter 1:9)

I look forward to gathering with the fruitful saints of God to worship our successful Savior tomorrow morning, Lord willing.
