God's call to spiritual growth part 2

The Bible is very clear on that we must grow in our faith everyday, we need to be adding these things to our Christian walk everyday. today we look at virtue, (moral excellence) . We are seeing a moral collapse of this today within Christian circles , well known preachers and others caught or exposed for sexual sins. We need to use God's word as our standard for holy living not any T.V celebrities or any other individuals, Jesus is our standard.

2 Peter 1:3-11 (ESV) 3  His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4  by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 5  For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6  and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7  and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8  For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9  For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. 10  Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11  For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
