February 10th, 2025 Cultivating a Fruitful Faith 2 Peter 1:5 (NIV) "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge." As believers, we are called to continually grow and mature in our faith. Peter reminds us that our faith is not a static entity, but rather a dynamic and living relationship with God. The phrase "make every effort" emphasizes the importance of intentional and deliberate action in cultivating our faith. We are to strive to add several key elements to our faith: - *Goodness*: Living a life that reflects the character of God, marked by love, kindness, and compassion. - *Knowledge*: Seeking to deepen our understanding of God's Word and His ways, that we might better know Him and serve Him. As we pursue these qualities, we will find that our faith becomes more robust, resilient, and fruitful. We will be better equipped to navigate life's challenges, to love and serve others, and to bring glory to God. _Reflection:_ - What areas of your faith need attention and growth? - How can you intentionally cultivate goodness and knowledge in your life? - Ask God to help you make every effort to add these qualities to your faith, that you might become a more fruitful and effective follower of Jesus. _Prayer:_ Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder to continually grow and mature in our faith. Help us to make every effort to add goodness and knowledge to our faith, that we might become more like Jesus and bring glory to Your name. Amen.
