“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 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” (2 Peter 1:3-7).
This week we will share about grace within our families. As I look at today’s verses, I see how we might equip ourselves to have a home of grace. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if both husbands and wives showed the virtues mentioned in today’s Scriptures? In our society, it is rare. As we previously learned in our study on spiritual warfare, the devil is targeting our families. He knows he will never destroy the Church, so he is working on families. It will take working on the above virtues to overcome the Enemy. Often times it is usually one spouse or the other that will need to be strong to show God’s grace within our families. If you are the strong one, climbing the above ladder of virtues may make your job easier.
