Virtue

Christian Virtues

Christian virtues are a reflection of the God in us. Christian theologians have traditionally identified faith, hope, and charity (love) as the three Christian virtues (Three Theological Virtues). God has called all of us to virtues of godly excellence, goodness, and righteousness. Christian virtues also consist of things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. See commentary and scriptures below for more on Christian virtues.

The Seven Stages of Christian Growth


Instructions for Following the Seven Stages of Christian Growth

2 Peter 1:5-7 provides instruction on the seven stages of Christian growth. The stages of Christian growth are:

1. Virtue - called to moral excellence, goodness, and righteousness

2. Knowledge - discover the knowledge of God

3. Temperance - self-control to obtain an incorruptible crown

Christian Virtues Are To Be Meditated On Continually To Assure Self-Control

Philippians 4:8. Jesus has revealed to mankind the virtues of God. Christian virtues include truth, honesty, righteousness, purity, love, and goodness. Through Jesus and self-control, anyone can achieve Christian virtues. Self-control is achieved by meditating on these virtues of Christ. Christ has given all Christian believers the power to live out the virtues of God and to sin no more.

Christian Virtues – Called To Godly Excellence

2 Peter 1:3. God calls all of us to have Christian virtues. Whether you know it or not, God has called all of us to glory and virtue. Christian virtues can be described as having a godly excellence, a godly goodness, or a godly righteousness. God's calling came to us through Jesus Christ.

Christian Virtues Display The Christ in Us and the Evidence of Our Separation From Sin

1 Peter 2:9. Christian virtues are a refection of the God in us. The dictionary definition of virtue is “a moral excellence, a goodness, or a righteousness”. Christian virtues can be described as a Godly excellence, a Godly goodness, and a Godly righteousness that is reflected in us.

From Faith To Christian Diligence

2 Peter 1:5. Diligence is a key attribute for being a Christian. Christian diligence starts with faith and it is ultimately manifested in love. God has provided us His Word and it is only through Christian diligence that we can fulfill His purpose in our lives. Before Christian diligence can be effective we must have faith.
