Vs 5-7 contain a list of character qualities that the LORD has called on each believer to practice. And I just want to review these and then we will get into CH 2.The character qualities we are to pursue are also the character traits that Yeshua exhibited in HIS earthly Ministry.
1) Faith. The first characteristic of the growing Christian has a uniqueness to it. According to Peter, and we know he is correct, faith (pistis) is given to believers. Peter says those (believers) who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, the Greek says the same value.
Faith is something we have received, not something we are to supply, because faith is a gift from GOD. Now of course we exercise that faith by living with faith in HIM. We apply that faith to the situations and issues we face in this world. We are in the world but not of the world, for we are new spiritual creatures.2COR 5:17, Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
