Let’s say I have faith - I believe God can do anything. I have virtue - I don’t steel, kill, or lie. I have knowledge of God’s word and his commandments. I have self control; I don’t over indulge in anything. And I am patient. I am willing to wait for things. I consider myself very godly. I have all the things going for me on Peters list thus far; faith, virtue, knowledge, self control, patience and godliness (2 Peter 1:4-5).
But…I am unkind. I tell other believers what I think is wrong in their lives. I obnoxiously share my faith. I make everyone dread what I will say or do next. In my own eyes I am righteous.
If you have ever dealt with anyone like that, you know the devastation and death it can bring. That is why we need to diligently add kindness (2 Peter 2:6). Without it, I make all other qualities void.
