Faith & Virtue
Here we find that faith is presupposed as necessary and different than other the other graces. That is because His grace and our faith is what brings us forgiveness and reunites us with God. We must have experienced this saving faith if we are to continue any further. Once we have faith we are add -supplement- virtue. Virtue may be described as excellence, morality--that which is abstaining from vice -wrong- and doing that which is right. Our society has flipped virtue, our moral compass is 180 degrees off. However, we must stand firm and be actively modeling the virtue that Christ demonstrated for us. So that when the world comes to its senses we are still here on the Rock that is Christ firm in our virtue as we seek to be more like Him.
