What is faith?

In the book of Hebrew 11:1 ,we learn that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" .So now what do we add to this Faith?In the book of 2 Peter 1:5-8 , we learn about things we should add to our faith

Virtue:

Virtue is the moral goodness of character and behavior of a a person. As much as Abraham had faith in God, he added virtue to it.

Knowledge:

Knowledge is the you have gained through learning . The bible tells us 1 Timothy 4:13 , to attend to the reading of the scripture and it goes on to say , " so that all may see your progress in Him(God)

Self Control:

In Galatians 5:23 we are told that one of the fruit of the spirit is self control. So in other words , we can say self control is an essential part in the growth of one's Faith.

As we read the verses 6 and 7 we see steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love.

Love:

When Paul went to the Corinthians he spoke about love(1 Corinthians 13). In the verse 13 he said "Meanwhile these three remain, Faith , hope and love" trying to tell us that faith goes hand in hand with love.

Brethren in Christ, To grow in Christ Jesus we ought to add all these in other that one day we all meet in His kingdom.
