: True Faith Transforms Lives


: Many believers want more of God’s goodness and peace, but they are unwilling to put faith the effort to get to know him better. To enjoy the privileges God offers us freely, we have to combine hard work with trust..

2 PETER 1:5-7 =For this very reason do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness  add knowledge; to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness; to your godliness add brotherly affection; and to your brotherly affection add love.

  To obtain more God’s kindness (everything we need for living a truly good life) and peace (the promise to save us from the lust and rottenness all around us)
We must also work hard to be good and even that is not enough.
We must learn to know God better and discover what he wants you to do.

  Learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting God have his way with you.

: True faith transforms our lives. If our lives remain unchanged, we don’t truly believe the truths we claim to believe.
