2. Muscular FAITH | Dr. David Jeremiah

This lesson reminds us that since God has given us everything we need for a godly life, we must DILIGENTLY develop the heart and habits of godliness.

Peter opens his second Epistle by telling us God has given us everything we need for life and godliness, and He empowers us for that kind of Life by His great and precious promises. We're not a passive part of the process. We must diligently work to build up the traits that will honor Christ and make us more like Him. Peter tells us to diligently add to our faith the qualities of goodness, knowledge, self control, perseverance, godliness, kindness and love. This lesson focuses on the aspect of diligence, growing into the likeness of Christ by working at it with all our heart.
