The Requirement of a Disciplined Life 2 Peter 1: 8-11

Read the passage 2 Peter 1


v.8 1.The abiding virtues of Christ will bear fruit in your life.
(For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful)

v.8 2.The disciplines of character will increase your spiritual capacities for Christ likeness.
(in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.)

v.9 3.The ignoring of the virtues of Christ will cause spiritual blindness and loss of joy.
(But he that lacketh those things is blind and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten …)

v.10 4.The commitment of your Christian life is to be proven and shown forth.
(Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure,)

v.10 5.The disciplines of your own faith assures your own heart before God.
(Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure,)

v.10 6.The disciplines of the flesh become a protection against error.
(for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.)

v.11 7.The disciplined life keeps the door of God's opportunity, blessing, and reward, open, extending into eternity.
(For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.)
