Add “…Charity” 2 Peter 1:7 “God’s love through you” is a great definition of Charity. You must have time for God’s love to work on you, before it can work through you. Peter has charity as the last item to add to your faith. Paul writes in the great love chapter [1 cor.13] about […]
Add “…Brotherly Kindness”
Add to “Godliness Brotherly Kindness” 2 Peter 1:7 What does Peter mean when he says “Brotherly Kindness”? We know that the “Brotherly” part in this context means, your brothers and sisters in Christ.
