For this very reason be diligent to add these things to your faith, these many things and for so many reasons—promises really. If these things, these many things, are yours and abound, the fruit in your earthly life and your spiritual life will be abundant. If you do these many things you will never stumble. Could there be a more encouraging promise?
And the man who fails to do these things, these many things, he is like a man who can’t see anything past what is right in front of him. It’s almost like he is nearly blind, but in this case it is not the function of his eyes that is in question. In other words, it’s not his physical sight that is distorted, but the absence of his prophetic vision that has blinded him, his inability to grasp the magnitude of what God has promised.
And yet, with all these many things in focus, there remains just one thing that will ruin a man’s opportunity to attain to God’s upward call in Christ. And if there is just one thing that will ruin the whole thing, I will not be negligent to remind you of these many things, but more importantly that one thing.
