Make Every Effort
Make Every Effort | 2 Peter 1:5-11 | Kelly Abbott
Believers are to make every effort to reflect Christ’s divine nature, not by their own power but by his righteousness and divine provision, which increasingly result in the virtues in this passage. These are not steps that produce godliness, rather they evidence of change being wrought in the believer’s heart through obedience to Christ’s transforming power (2 Peter 1:3). Peter calls us to be diligent to confirm our calling and election by practicing these qualities.
