Layers of Christian Growth
2 Peter 1:5-8
To faith in God add virtue
Which does whatever’s right;
To virtue add more knowledge –
God’s Word will give you light.
Add self-control to knowledge –
Resisting fleshly lusts;
Then add the grace of patience
Which loves and hopes and trusts.
Add godliness to patience –
A God-like way of life;
Then kindness as to family
Which doesn’t stir up strife.
To all of these advancements
Add charity, yes, love;
For these will make you fruitful
And guide your path above.
Christina Joy Hommes
“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. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8
