2 Peter 1:3-11
Making One's Calling and Election Sure
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
My Blessings
I, Thank the Lord for my Salvation
No matter how many times I fell,
My Saviour, My Lord, Jesus Christ is always there for me
I am thankful
for I am one of his elected
The Lord let me see my corrupt Self
and turned my heart away from the evils and vagaries of this World
I am thankful
for the Lord has brought me to a church
who strives to preach the Word of the LORD
and not the Word of Man
I am thankful
for the every breath I take
And I pray that I will make use of my short time on this world
to
Make my Calling and Election Sure
