In his Second Epistle to the believers, St Peter mentions that Our Lord Jesus Called us to glory and virtue:
"Who called us by His own glory and goodness, through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature" urging them to: "add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge" (1 Peter 1: 3-5)
Virtue is, no doubt, the fruit of true of faith. You may also say: It is the living evidence of such faith. Sadly, we live in a time in which virtue has become scarce. Faith has become theoretical to many Christians. Such theoretical faith has no fruits. We read about virtue in the Bible. We also read about it in the life of the Saints. We aught to apply what we read and make it a hallmark of our life. That way, virtue becoms manifest in us and not just a theoretical object that we receive with our minds.
For this reason, Our Lord Jesus emphasized this since the beginning of His Ministry through His Eternal Sermon on the mount. He demanded that we become salt for the earth and light to the world, so that when men see our good works they would glorify our heavenly Father (Matthew 5). He concluded by asking us to become witnesses for Him unto the nethermost parts of the earth through His final words prior to His ascension to Heaven (Acts 1:8). How can we witness for Christ? Is it by words that do not describe our life? How useful is talking? This book contains 10 subjects: Love of God To Man - Love of Man To God - Love of Man To His Brother - Faith In God – Its Power and Fruits - Belief In the Miracles of the Lord Jesus - Hope - Life of Peace - Life of Submission - The Principle of the Narrow Gate In Spiritual Life - The Kingdom.
