If we want to grow in godliness we have to grow in togetherness. To truly love and live together as brothers and sisters in Christ.

The word steadfastness means “endurance, patience, waiting.” If we want to grow in our faith, then we must realize that everything will not be easy and difficult times will come. We must learn to worship in the waiting.

If we want to grow in our relationship with the Father, then we must put to death the sin in our lives.

We cannot change without adding KNOWLEDGE! We are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Virtue means “excellence of character…” good works. Our faith doesn’t end with us. We must add to our faith “excellence.”

The Lord has given us all things for life and godliness. There's nothing that we need that we don't have - the promises of God to us. But we must make every effort to receive them by faith.
