2 Peter 1:5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge.
All of you are desirous of increasing your faith so that you will be able to get your prayers answered. This is possible as you spend more time studying your Bible, see Romans 10:17. Peter tells you to add virtue to your faith. Some of the dictionary definitions are, goodness, moral excellence and purity. Virtue seems to be lacking in the lives of many who call themselves Christians. Their attitude is that it’s not necessary unless they are caught. God has a different idea for you, and expects you to fulfill this command in your life if you are going to spend eternity with Him. The first step that is necessary is to have a desire to be virtuous. Next it is necessary to allow him to point out the things that are missing the mark in your life. Ask Him to make you fit for the Master’s use.
When you’re tempted to not do what you know is right, recognize where the temptation is originating. Resist the devil vigorously so that he will feel like a lion in the den with Daniel.
