Virtue
In the Christian tradition, virtue means habitual goodness — the steady desire and practice of choosing what is right, true, and holy.
St. Augustine once said that virtue is “a good quality of the mind by which we live rightly.” But as Christians, we know that true virtue doesn’t come from our own strength — it comes from grace. It’s the Holy Spirit working within us, shaping our character to reflect Christ.
The Apostle Peter gives us a beautiful picture of this growth in his letter:
“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness.”
— 2 Peter 1:5–6 (NKJV)
Peter isn’t describing a checklist — he’s describing a journey of transformation. Faith is the foundation, but virtue is the building. It’s how faith takes root and becomes visible in the way we live, speak, and love others.
Virtue is the evidence of a heart being renewed by Christ. It’s not perfection — it’s direction. Each day, as we lean on the Spirit, we learn to choose what is good, true, and pleasing to God.
