Chain Reaction

2 Peter 1:10

“Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble”

I remember watching an old game show with my grandma called “Chain Reaction.” Contestants had to fill in word chains to score points. All with the goal of winning the life transforming cash prize at the end. As Christians we too are offered a life transforming prize. When we receive Jesus as our Savior, a spiritual chain reaction begins. One that gives us the greatest jackpot of all. Because it empowers us to live a life that glorifies God, have a heart like Jesus, and a firm foundation of faith. Peter knew the amazing transformation that comes from adding the virtues of knowledge, self-control, godliness, endurance and love to our faith in Christ. They build a solid foundation that will keep us steady on our Christian walk, and help us build a deeper relationship with the Lord. More importantly, these virtues also help us to navigate life’s challenges without stumbling in our commitment to Jesus. And lead lives not of compromise, but deep faith that bring glory to the Lord.
