2 Peter 1:5-7
"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge..."
Step 1: Faith
Step 2: Moral excellence
Step 3: Knowledge
The word knowledge here is referring to head knowledge about christian things. In chapter 3 verse 18 it says, "but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" After we're saved and we start to put off the old man and to put on the new, we need to grow. We need to receive more knowledge of right and wrong so that we can discern between the two. The first step toward knowledge is the fear of the Lord. (proverbs 1:7) "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge". And the key to increasing in knowledge is to become closer and closer to Christ. (Colossians 2:3) "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Apart from Him there is no knowledge.
