Even to Blindness

Scripture: 2 Peter 1

To lack faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love (2 Peter 1:5-8) is to be...

1. Shortsighted - to see dimly, see only what is near (Thayer's).

2. Even to Blindness - used metaphorically, of the dulling of the intellect (Vine's).

The key to overcoming spiritual blindness is found in 2 Peter 1:9. Never forget the cleasning you received from your old sins! "For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins" (2 Peter 1:9).
