Maturing Faith
His divine power has granted,
To life of all things unto us;
With the knowledge as implanted,
Calls us to His glory as thus.
His precious and great promises,
Partakers of divine nature;
Escaping corrupt justices,
No longer a sinful creature.
We live in a world full of lust,
Which is for this very reason;
Through Jesus Christ and why we trust,
Praising Him for what He has done.
Make an effort to supplement,
Faith with virtue with the knowledge;
Using wisdom for your judgment,
For confidence to encourage.
Your knowledge gives you self-control,
Temperance patient godliness;
That is a solace to your soul,
Which will enhance your lowliness.
Godly kindness brings affection,
Brotherly affection with love;
Which brings heavenly perfection,
As blessings flow from up above.
