Many people misunderstand the Christian faith in many ways. Countless non-believers wrongly perceive the core of the Christian message as being good people. If you read the second epistle of Peter, it isn’t hard to find out the starting point of Christian faith is resting one’s faith in Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:1, 3–4). Striving to be virtuous is essential, but it must be coupled with faith in Jesus Christ. Although the foundation of “godly life” is the salvation effected by God (1:3–4), believers should live out their salvation by being virtuous (1:5–7).
Let’s ponder the words of Peter.

(2 Peter 1:5–7 ESV)
