Supplies to your faith.

Our faith is most important  in our Christian journey. Our faith grants us access to God's saving Grace. Also, faith keeps us standing in God's Grace as we expect the Lord's Glorious coming. How then do we cooperate with God to keep our faith afire? The Word of God tells us just how. 2 Peter 1:5-7, 'And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.' The word, 'add' is from the Greek word, 'epichoregeo' which means to 'supply, supplement, sponsor'. Notice that it starts with 'add to your faith virtue...' not 'add to virtue faith....' In other words, these things are 'supplies' to our faith. Therefore, they must not be mistaken as a set of 'works' we must do to please God. These are things that aid our faith for maximal effectiveness. The result of this is; '... Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:..' (verse 10). Why is it that if we do these, we would never fall? Because, they help our faith, for by faith we stand -2 Corinthians 1:24. Our faith is an adventure of trust, our trust in his ability. When we give attention to these things, our faith walk becomes more effective. Glory to God for his light! #Light #Pleroma
