Why are things ordered the way they are?
Is there a grand scheme to things or do things just occur randomly?
Hmmmmm...
Faith
Goodness
Knowledge
Self-Control
Perseverance
Godliness
Brotherly Kindness
Love
2 Peter 1 tells us to seek these attributes and they are listed in this order. Is this a random placement, or does each one build one on top of the other. Like, could you just jump right in to Knowledge, flirt with some Perseverance, then end it all with some Goodness?
Hmmm...
I see that 1 Peter 1:5 reveals that it is through FAITH that we are shielded by God's power. No mean place to reside. I myself would like to dwell under God's shielding. Does that have anything to do with the order of things in the 2 Peter passage?
Do you know?
