“The Christian’s Boosts Part 2- Virtue”
Saturday, August 23, 2025Key Verse
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” 2 Peter 1:5
Text — 2 Peter 1:5-9
Message
Virtue refers to good and desirable Christian character. Virtue in the lives of Christians is like growing a garden of good qualities that makes us more like Jesus. It is another boost that makes us become Christlike in our behaviour and general lifestyles.
Dorcas, a high school student in a community school was known for her kindness, honesty, and helpfulness. She was nice to everyone, and usually make friends with new students who are lonely. When Rachael, a new student, felt lonely, Dorcas got close to her and helped her settled down in school. Dorcas’s good deeds and virtues stood out, making others wonder what made her so special. Her kindness led many students to give their hearts to Jesus, making a big difference in her school.
Friends of Jesus, like Dorcas, are reminded to add virtue to their faith. It is not enough to just say we believe in Jesus; we must show it by being kind and loving to everyone. When we do, our actions can bring happiness and lead others to Jesus.
