Onward Christian Soldiers!

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity" 2Peter 1:5-7
Step by step, line upon line, and precept upon precept we are to add to our lives a constant working or building towards the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus is the foundation and the only way to build, but it is only the foundation, we can't lay the foundation and not continue to build thereon. Who starts to build without the intent of completing? Who lays a foundation to a house or building and walks away after the foundation is layed? or Who stands on a ladder at the first step desiring to make it to the top, but fails to take the next step? General Math or Math 101 begins with addition and this will always be a part of a progressive person's life. Receive Jesus, believe in him, but then add to your faith in Jesus. "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2Peter 2:8 Steady application and steadfast perseverence will enable us to see the continual advancements of Christ's workings in our life.
Friends, continue to add, continue to go forward, and continue to stand firm in your faith in Jesus. His work in your life will reveal that great purpose and fruit that you have been created for.
