True spiritual maturity comes as we add some very necessary character qualities to our faith. Peter tells us exactly what we're to add to our faith - virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity. When we have these operating in our everyday life, we will see our faith strengthened like never before. It is time for us to grow up and be the mature Christians that God designed us to be. As He is, so are we in this world. More and more of Jesus will be seen through us to this lost and dying word as we develop and grow Christian character.
