Who describes the Christian walk and growth process by the adding of disciplines?

• A. James
• B. Paul
• C. Peter
• D. Luke

Answer: (C)

Growth in the Christian walk is described as a progressive process of adding disciplined virtues to one’s faith. Peter lays out a chain of qualities to develop: add to your faith virtue, then to virtue knowledge, then to knowledge self-control, and so on, culminating in godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. This shows that maturing in Christ is intentional and practiced—character is formed by continually cultivating these disciplines rather than by belief alone. The emphasis on making every effort to develop these traits highlights a deliberate, growth-oriented path. While other writers highlight different aspects of growth—Paul focusing on living by the Spirit, James on faith working through action, Luke as a recorder of events—the specific sequence of adding disciplined virtues as the path of growth comes from Peter.
