The Christian life is a building process and it doesn’t happen overnight. We need to keep adding new spiritual characteristics to our lives. The Word of God teaches us in 2 Peter 1:5-7 the things to add to the foundation that has been laid by Christ to help us in building a beautiful building are:
Virtue – excellence in moral character
Temperance
Knowledge
Patience
Godliness
Brotherly kindness
Most of all Charity (LOVE)
