Christianity is a nationality, not a religion. You must be born again to become a Christian. e.g. The children that were born out of Isreal(Jacob) are Isrealites, Benjamin-Benjamites etc. When you are born out of Christ! (Acts 2v38) then you become Christian THE TRUTH IS THERE!

Seven Divine Strengths That Makes Us
According to the Word of God there are 7 Divine strengths that will make you. They are sometimes interpreted as eight but the first one (faith) is a bases so that the other seven could work. Number 1 - is suppose to be Faith, but without faith it is impossible to please God and to have the other 7 characters functional in the perspective according to the Word and Will of God. So I will not make faith number one but a base factor.
Our reading comes from II Peter 1v2-9 [KJV]
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
The divine power of God (Jesus) will give us all things that pertain unto this life, through knowledge of him. Now if these (Seven Devine Strengths are in you) they will make you so strong you will not suffer lack, neither will you be blind, but you will see the future of all life and you will enjoy the exceeding great and precious promises that God has in store for those that love and fear Him. - Think About It. Read the above scriptures.
Now in order to obtain the exceeding great and precious promises of God for you there is something that you have to do; that is STEP 1 - Verse 5 says: You have to give All Diligence.
DILIGENCE means - Persistence and hardworking effort in doing something; b) take care or attention, c) assiduousness, thoroughness.
Now if your are ready to be diligent to see God manifesting in your life then you will take your FAITH and add to your faith - that's why I said faith is the bases. So you will add to your faith - VIRTUE. Virtue is our first strength.
Now virtue means: Good Value, High Merit, and desirable quality - the quality of being morally good or righteous. Virtue also means the power that something contains to do something. So in other words you need to pump-up your faith in God with Power of good moral. - You should not have greed, or enviousness within you to obtain the thing or gift that you want. You must have a righteous need. You must be morally right for it. God cannot give you a Mercedes Benz AMG 63 if won’t have petrol money for it and while you live in a 2 room house. God will not do things that will spoil or mess-up His Glory! - When God supplies your need people should not wonder what you did or what you are doing - they must know that GOD has met your need. They will know that it is God because God is working in your life. What I mean to say is that there won’t be questions. The glory of God shows when God does things! The secret to have great possessions is not to just trust God for the physicality of the need but see the divine nature matured in us so that the natural will follow us. What I am saying is trust God for the maturity and character that goes with the Mercedes Benz, and not for the Mercedes Benz. We are blessed because God is a Blessed God. - This is true prosperity. The Bible (Matt.23v17) says it is the temple that sanctifies the gold and not the gold the temple. If you are the temple of God, that is if God lives in you the temple, then you will make a smart dress/suit looks good and not it you. God do not want us to brag about what we have, He wants us to Glorify Him!
So our lesson is add "high merit, desirable quality" to your faith. And be morally good or righteous for that blessing. Virtue also means "the power that something contains to do something" That means your faith must be charged up for you to see results. Weak faith produces weak results. The disciples cried out "Lord increase our faith"
Our next Strenght is # 2 - Knowledge.
