– Mark 3:13 (NKJV) – He calls – Disciples come!
– 2 Peter 1:5 –Brian Simmons notes from Passion version:
“Out of your Faith will emerge>> Goodness >> Understanding of God >> Inner strength (self-control) >> Patient Endurance >> Godliness >> Mercy torwads others >> LOVE“
-The Passion Bible; Brian Simons
Mathematical Equation
Faith + Goodness = Understanding
Understanding + Goodness = Inner strength (Self-Control)
Understanding + Inner strength = Patience
Inner strength + Patience = Godliness
Patience + Godliness = Mercy
Godliness + Mercy = LOVE
– 1 John 4:7, 15-17 – God IS Love!
