If Only We Christians Would Do What The Bible Says

lately I've been reading through 2 Peter 1 and trying to actually apply and pursue the attributes which Peter says will keep us from stumbling if we practice them (verse 10). They are:

5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, 6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if Christians, especially men, would practice these things and strive to know their depths, God could and would do great things through them. It's a challenge for me and I hope a challenge to whomever might read this.
