In the first chapter of 2 Peter, believers are urged to grow in virtue, knowledge, and godliness. The chapter emphasizes the importance of living out our faith and cultivating qualities that reflect Christ's character. This chapter teaches us about the continuous process of spiritual growth and the role of divine empowerment in our transformation. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the privilege of growing in faith, virtue, and knowledge. Help us to continually seek to align our lives with the character of Christ. Guide us in cultivating qualities that honor You and contribute to our spiritual growth. May Your grace empower us as we strive to live lives pleasing to You.
