2 Peter 1:5 (NKJV) 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge…<\/p>\n

What is virtue?<\/p>\n

Virtue is described as a disposition to choose actions that succeed in showing high moral standards; doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong.<\/p>\n

When someone takes pleasure in doing what is right, even when it is difficult or initially unpleasant, they can establish virtue as a habit.<\/p>\n

A more succinct definition would be: moral excellence; goodness; righteousness.<\/p>\n

Peter instructed us to add to our faith, virtue.<\/p>\n

We need to take on the attitude of walking out high moral standards, taking great pleasure in doing what is right, and letting it play a big part in our daily walk.<\/p>\n

Sometimes doing the right thing can cause discomfort with those around us that are not on the same page as us.<\/p>\n

When we choose to do right, it can immediately bring conviction to those who want to do the opposite.<\/p>\n

For us, walking in virtue will come at a cost.<\/p>\n

We may lose friends. We may even find family members that differ with us.<\/p>\n

They will not want us around as much simply because we choose to do right instead of doing the wrong thing.<\/p>\n

Adding virtue to our faith will make a statement as to who we have become as children of God. Others will not recognize us because we are not the same as we once were.<\/p>\n

They may even try to make us think that there is something wrong with us, and accuse us of thinking we are better than them.<\/p>\n

Pay no attention to that.<\/p>\n

Continue giving all diligence to do the right thing, and choose actions that succeed in showing high moral standards at all times, walking as God has called us to!<\/p>\n

Add to our faith, virtue. Amen.<\/p>\n
