With having a solid foundation of faith, we can begin to add to our faith: knowledge and self-control. Knowledge comes from knowing God and knowing what His Word says about how to make day to day decisions and knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control only comes from yielding our lives to Jesus and allowing His truth to take root in our lives.
In 2 Peter 1, we're given a list of qualities that followers of Jesus are called to add to their faith. It says, "For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." Much like building a house, the foundation of faith is just the beginning. If we want to build something that is meant to last, what we build with matters too.
