Key Lessons
1:5-7 – Peter begins with “for this very reason (because
you are a partaker of the divine nature) make every
effort (pareisphero)” – that is, “add or contribute on
your own part” the necessary actions to confirm your
profession of faith by godly living.

The verb rendered “add” (epichoregeo – “to supply in
copious measure”) is not simply to add one virtue to
another. Rather, the meaning is to develop one virtue in
the exercise of another, with each new grace springingout of and perfecting, or tempering the other.

virtues and build on them will grow spiritually and will

will “make his calling and election sure”, that is, he will

Scripture: 2 Peter 1:1-11
In 2 Peter 1 Chapter 1, Peter talks about our growth as
Christians. This growth begins with faith and culminates in
love. Like the innermost Matryoshka doll we begin as babes
in Christ. We are spiritually born again through saving faith
in Christ. But to live life forever as a baby would be atragedy. Peter says that if we fail to grow, it is akin to being
nearsighted and blind and forgetting that our sins have been
forgiven.

This list of qualities are things that are added to our godly
character as we grow in Christ. Each new quality does not
replace the one before it, but adds to it. These are not
things that we possess then give up, as a child outgrows old
clothes. These qualities are not marks on a growth chart,but things that we hold inside our hearts and that we carry
forward with us as we continue to mature in Christ.
