The OneSample

In this verse, Peter tells followers of Jesus that our faith in Jesus is just the beginning—meaning, we build on it. Faith is a foundation, but it isn’t the end. We develop goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love on faith. In other words, a relationship with Jesus is a journey. Faith is just the beginning, but as we spend time with Jesus, we begin to resemble Him and take on the characteristics Peter mentions. Eventually, we work towards the one thing Jesus said mattered more than any other commandment: Love. 

Today, spend some time asking God what you need to build on next in your faith journey and work on doing that.
