TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
2 Peter 1:5–9 - For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, [6] and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, [7] and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. [8] For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, what kind of person would you be? If you were guaranteed by God, you would not fail at becoming that kind of person. Now, I'm not talking about accomplishments or achievements. I'm talking about the type of person. Welcome to the morning mindset. This is our |
| 0:23.0 | opportunity to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. And we're going to do so |
| 0:28.5 | by digging into 2 Peter 1, 5 through 9. There's this list of characteristics that Peter says we should |
| 0:35.7 | supplement our faith with. And we're going to dig into |
| 0:39.1 | those in just a moment. Before we do, though, I want to remind you, I have a number of books and |
| 0:43.7 | study guides, those kinds of things that can be helpful to you. I've created one around a Christian |
| 0:48.9 | classic written by Andrew Murray called Humility. It's one of the most powerful books I've ever read, and I've created |
| 0:56.3 | a study guide to go along with it. So this resource that I'm suggesting to you is the entire text |
| 1:02.6 | of Andrew Murray's book along with study questions to help you dig deeper. You can find out more by |
| 1:07.9 | going to morning mindsetmedia.com slash humility. |
| 1:12.4 | All right, before we dig into 2. Peter 1, 5 through 9, let's pray together. |

| 1:24.2 | we ask you to guide us to understand both what they mean and how you mean to manifest them in our lives |
| 1:31.4 | we ask it in jesus name amen okay friends well that question i asked you at the beginning what kind of |
| 1:38.8 | person would you be if you knew god had guaranteed you could become that person i'm asking asking that because the context of what Peter's describing for us in our episode today |
| 1:49.0 | is that God has already given us through his divine power everything we need for life and |
| 1:54.8 | godliness. |
| 1:56.1 | And so the mindset around what Peter's about to say is that God is the one equipping you to do exactly |
| 2:02.2 | what he's instructing you to do now. And so let's read the instruction. He says, for this very |
| 2:07.4 | reason, because God has equipped you, make every effort to supplement your faith with, and then |
| 2:15.2 | he gives us two characteristics at the beginning, virtue, and add to your |
| 2:20.3 | virtue knowledge. That's important that we understand what both of these things are. Virtue means |
