All believers manifest the "same faith" in God. Peter knew how that faith changed his life completely and he expected salvation to change the lives of everyone in the same way. He was not content with anyone simply "calling themselves a christian". He wanted to see growth and effort put into their faith.
Good parents want their children to grow and mature. For them to maximize their abilities and to have an impact on the culture around them. We want our kids to become "productive members of society". Peter wanted the same of spiritual children. For them to be productive and fruitful christians, who were making a difference.
Are we growing in our faith? Are we making a difference with those around us? We should be. We won't be without focus and effort.
