#grace and #virtue are intertwined, for grace leads to virtue (2 Pet. 1:3). This shows the primacy of God’s action through grace leading us into virtue. But we cannot ignore the human involvement in that. This is why Peter says *we* must “make every effort” to grow into virtue (2 Pet. 1:5). The two elements must be held together: God’s action and human responsibility. To do otherwise is #unbiblical.
