2 Peter 1

1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 1:6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 1:7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 1:10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,

Gal 6:9-10

Gal 6:9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

Gal 6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. 

Examining Your Debt to Christ

“How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear? How is it that many, whose faith and grace it would be uncharitable to deny, work so little, give to little, say so little, take so little pains to promote Christ’s cause and bring glory to Christ in the world?

“These questions admit of only one answer. It is a low sense of debt and obligation to Christ, which is the amount of the whole matter. Let us daily pray that we may see the sinfulness of sin, and the amazing grace of Christ, more clearly and distinctly.”
