So I was assigned yet another passage of scripture to read for another class of mine, and that passage was 2 Peter 1

The verses that really stood out to me in this passage were verses 3-11.

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

You know when you constantly mess up in something and you never seem to learn. Every time you mess up, immediately after you think to yourself, “I was gonna say no, I wasn’t going to do this again, what happened?!” The day after God gives me this verse: “…For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.” So to flee from sin and to remember that Christ has forgiven me from my sins, I need to practice these things…virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, & love. Life is difficult, I need to remember to lean on the one who carries my burden-CHRIST!
