2 Peter 1:5

Building on 2 Peter 1:5, Pastor Miles teaches that salvation in Christ is the starting block, not the finish line, and that believers must give all diligence to add to their faith a progressive chain of qualities—virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Because God has already given everything needed for life and godliness, faith in God must grow into faithfulness toward God, which always produces fruitfulness.
