SPONSORING YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT-PART 2

Our theme scripture for this teaching is 2 Peter 1:5-8. Verse 5 says, 'Therefore giving all diligience, ADD to your faith, virtue.' The word, 'add' is from the Greek, 'epichoregeo' which means to, 'support, fund, finance and sponsor'. I have chosen, 'sponsor' because it's very apt for the purposes of this teaching. From the first verse in our passage, verse 5, we are told to sponsor our faith with virtue. Here, 'virtue' means 'effectiveness and optimum'. God wants us to be the best in addition to faith.
