Sometimes 1 think some of us
Christians are the dumbest
people on earth! We talk so
much about our 'wonderful
faith', yet continue to behave in
ways that would make many a
heathen shudder.
Christ gives to all who
respond to Him the gift of faith.
But He also offers more than
faith. For those who will
receive, he givek the gift of
compassion and love.
Though faith Is essential, it's
not enough. We read in Il Peter"
1: 5-7, "Do your best to add
goodness to youriaith ; and to
your goodness add knowledge;
to your knowledge add self-
control; to your self control add
endurance; to your endurance
add godliness., to yoUr
godlineSS add brotherly love;
and to your brotherly love add
Christian love."

. Who needs friends like that?
Yet, one. cannot question their
genuine faith.
For myself, though I have
faith, I frequently agonize over
times I've failed in my
relationships with family and
close friends. Peter's "words
give me hope, however.
Without minimizing faith, *he
tells us this .is not the whole
story: He says it is possible to
have faith 'and not haVe
goodness. How many times we
ourselves have been dishonest
or manipulated people in the
naine of God? (And how we
hate and resent it when this' is
done to us!) BUt the One Who
givbs the gift of faith can also
give the gift of goodness. -
Peter. goes on to say ye can
have faith and goodness and be
without knowledge. I think of
those Pushy 'Christians who
attempt to cajole, scare or
bully their friends and family
into the Kingdom. The fact that
they haVe faith and goodness
doesn't guarantee, they're
'smart in dealing with other
people.
Continuing, Peter says you
can have knowledge but Stilt
lack self-control. According to
William Barclay self-control is..
man controlling .his instincts
and passions so they becorne
his servants and not his
tyrants. Beyond self-control,
says Peter there is endurance
to look at your frustrations and
trials, realistically' , and
creatively.
But we can have these
things and still not be living a
godly life. And even beyond
that, Peter points out, kyoU can
be living a pious life and still
not be practicing love. Though_
faith is impOrtant, what have
we got if we don't haVe hwe?
