Holy Habits: Love

Peter’s list of Christian graces has challenged us to grow in the qualities that make us more like Christ. Each one sounds simple, but they are not easy. They call on us to never be content with our current status. It all leads us to love. In his commentary on 2 Peter and Jude, Robert Harvey wrote: “In each case, we are being called on to express in action the nature God has created in us.” To be in the holy habit of love is ultimately to be in the holy habit of growing into God’s character.

The holy habit of love – seeking the best for others, is a necessary component of the Christian life; and is a habit to be put into action. When we put these Christian graces into practice, we are creating pathways to habits that help us become more like Christ. Which of these holy habits needs our attention today?
