Peter suggested in 2 Peter 1 that as Christians, we should plant and cultivate the positive qualities taught by Christ in our heart.

We should respond to God’s work for us with great effort to increase positive qualities like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and brotherly love.

What happens is that these positive qualities growing in us are like steps that lead us closer to God and we have much to look forward to because of the promise of a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (v. 11).

Tomorrow, I will post some other thoughts as I continue the journey through 2 Peter. In the meantime, here is a link to a poem this study has already inspired: The Path.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
