This Biblical study was born when I asked to him the Gentleman who taught to me whereupon tools enable to us if we are arranged to make an effort us not to fall of Its Way, and Its Way is Christ, because therefore He to it in His Word affirms. Juan 14:6. These tools are essential, as much for the Christian at individual level, like so that the shepherds and leaders of the churches and congregations, can enable to the Body of Christ with them and serve as conjuncture elements that constitute the wife of the Lamb, Yahshua.

If we want to remain all along next to the Gentleman of our Earth peregrination, in this temporary life, until the arrival of Its Kingdom in the resurrection for eternal life, they do not stop studying the 7 gifts that God gives us so that we do not turn aside ourselves of Its side. If we applied these seven gifts to our spiritual construction, will obtain step by step, not one, but several objectives. First it is our permanent relation with the Gentleman at individual level. The second is our relation with our near brothers but, congregation or church. And the third party is our relation with the other Christians of other congregations or churches that really follow the Word and the Spirit of Yahweh, to build and to serve the great congregation as the saints, the wife of the Gentleman.

In addition we will in the end see a picture in which each of these kindness is applied to the human being, and to what of our components, spirit, soul and body they go directed.

The key of the following text will cause that in the believer, the Gentleman can build his temple of the soul in agreement with the design and the spiritual architecture of God, so that, as the Scripture in 2Pedro in versicle 4 says: … we get to be participant from the divine nature… so that God lives in us by Its Spirit. A nature, that although seems to us that, neither we are worthy to see, nor to have, the Scripture shows to us nevertheless that as well as God asks to us that we sanctify ourselves, also says elsewhere… but we have the mind of Christ… 1Corintios 2:16. It is therefore necessary that we strive in the sanctity to remain in the salvation and power to enter the weddings of the Lamb.

This key is in the meaning of the word “virtue” that when understanding its ample sense, we can include/understand the order of construction in 7 steps or gifts that God in the Bible shows to us:

BIBLICAL TEXT

2PEDRO: CHAPTER 1

^4por half of which it has given precious and grandísimas promises to us, so that by them you got to be participant from the divine nature, having fled from the corruption that there is in the world because of the concupiscencia; ^5vosotros also, putting all diligence by this same one, you add to your faith

virtue;  to the virtue, 

knowledge; ^6the knowledge, 

own dominion; to the own dominion, 

patience; to the patience, 

mercy; ^7the mercy, 

brotherly affection; and to the brotherly affection, 

love.  

^8Porque if these things are in you, and abound, will not let to you be idle nor without fruit as far as the knowledge of our Mr. Jesus Christ.

^9Pero the one that does not have these things has the very short view; he is blind, having forgotten the purification its old sins. ^10Por which, brother, so much more you try to make your vocation and election firm; because making these things, you will never fall. ^11Porque this way will be granted you ample and generous entrance in the eternal kingdom of our Gentleman and Salvador Jesus Christ.

Now we will see detachhed to each one of the 7 gifts or qualities:

Faith: Faith is gift of God, that serves us basic to be able in adding each as these seven qualities, that becomes gifts of God which we must look for, therefore we did not tell it like one of the 7. With her the man has the capacity to change his person adding, or building as we see next:

1. - Virtue: All the people whom I have in the last asked months on the virtue, only understood that it was a gift that is had or no, a quality that some have for certain things. Indeed the ignorance of the language prevents us to include the things of God, but we must give Him thanks to the Father who abre Scriptures to us for our spiritual growth. In the dictionary we can read: Special instructions to observe certain duties, to fulfill certain actions, quality, besides faculty, and also quality of the spirit who inclines to practice the good.

Therefore once the believer, is it, that is to say, has received the faith, she says Pedro to us that to that faith we add virtue, in the meaning to act spiritually, to begin to walk in the Way of Christ, to strive in the construction of the temple of God in one same one, to put hands to the work and to do it in the following steps:

2. - Knowledge: Reading of the Word of God to reach knowledge of Him. If we do not eat the Word we do not grow and we died of spiritual hunger. It depends on which we read the Bible and we pray every day, think that formerly the men did not have Bibles, take advantage then. Virtue for the knowledge.

3. - Own Dominion: Oration and fights against the things of the meat, of the world, the temptations. Without we did not control ourselves we are not owners of we ourself, and it is only possible with the force to live that it gives the Spirit us of God. Virtue for the own dominion.

4. - Patience: The great deficiency that all we have. This also makes lack put hands to the work through the oration and to watch more after the others, but mainly in the confidence in God, because It will give the things in due course. Virtue for the patience.

5. - Mercy: To dedicate itself to which suffer, the needed ones, physical as as much spiritual, serving to the Gentleman, with oration, visiting them, donating, helping and with preaching. Virtue for the mercy.

6. - Brotherly Affection: This step is vital so that we obey the law of Christ, the affection between which is body of Christ. If they do not love the brothers those who see, how they will love God that they do not see. Virtue to give brotherly affection.

If they do not accept to its brothers with its defects (that it does not tolerate to that are pleased in sinning) and serve to them as aid, they are friendly, receive to them and they provide with accomodations to them, not only in house but in the heart, where it is its love of God. Soon Christ will ask to us that we love the enemies, imagine if we did not love the brothers and we did not congregate ourselves with them, as we land on water to whom they detest to us because of the Word of God.

7. - Love: The great gift of the heart of God, Its Santo Espíritu; this love we can send it to others by the intercession, to put our lives and our minds by the brothers, to request it to God, “Gálatas 6:2” so that to load our yoke, He flows our portion of Their love to those by which we intercede, as He only loves, since the love of the man is very limited. He reads the qualities of the love of God in 1Juan. Virtue to give love of God.

And I say brother beloveds to them using the words of 2Pedro 1:12 By this, I I will not leave of recordaros always these things, although know you them, and are confirmed in the present truth. 

Therefore brother loved in Christ, if some of these kindness is not in you, pedidla God, because It replaces our deficiencies if we strived in overcoming them. Amen?

EXPLANATORY PICTURE

Once we put virtue in each one of the components of our being, “Spirit, Soul, Mind and Body” we can begin to dominate the body, to prepare the mind and to leave the Spirit governs our spirit in our soul, for the love of God.
