The Christian Graces Add To Your Faith - Moral Excellence

God Has Always Wanted His People To Live A Good Moral Life Towards Him From the beginning, God commanded His people to live a good, moral life - Ex. 20:13-17; Lev. 19:1-37; many others Notice the example that Jesus gives us - Mk. 10:17-23

God Has Always Wanted His People To Live A Good Moral Life Towards Him God tells us that we are special in His eyes, and we should live that way - 1 Pet. 2:9; 1:16 We need to live good moral lives despite the evil that is around us - 1 Jn 2:15-17; Rom. 12:1-2 God punished His people when they did not live moral lives - 2 Chr. 28:19

Notice The Origin Of The Greek Word The original Greek word (arête) comes from a military word Peter is using this word to signify that we are in a battle against evil - Eph. 6:10-17 Paul tells us in other places that we need to be prepared to fight - 1 Tim 6:12; 2 Tim 4:7

Notice The Origin Of The Greek Word It takes great courage to have this kind of virtue and fight the good fight Notice some example that we have preserved for us Especially Christ and His sufferings before His death Joshua - Deut. 31:6-7; Josh. 1:6 Others - Heb. 11:32-38 Moses - Heb. 11:24-27 Abraham - Heb. 11:8 Daniel - Dan. 6:10

Notice The Origin Of The Greek Word We, today, must have courage to live like we are supposed to for God It takes courage to ask for forgiveness from others and confess sins It takes courage to forgive others It takes courage to say “yes” when the world says “no” It takes courage to resist temptation We must have courage to confess our faith We must have courage to live our faith It takes courage to say “no” when the world says “yes”
