Faith Response!

For Wednesday, July 24, 2024:

2 Peter 1:5b-8 NLT: “Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.”

Faith is trust in an eyewitness’ testimony, and this scripture details what our response should be now that we know that faith. Being on the “Jesus Team” demands high morals, knowledge, self-control, endurance and brotherly love. This is not an exhaustive list, and we don’t need one. With the New Covenant, God has already written his laws on our hearts. He gave us a conscience, so we instinctively know right from wrong.

So continue doing the right things for the right reasons. If you’re good with your behavior and God is good with your behavior, stop worrying about what others think! Just love the Lord and love your neighbor. Life can be that simple!

"The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
