2 Peter 1:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

2 Peter 1:10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never fall:

This is the second time that Peter writes about giving diligence. We are told not to be slothful in business, and this matter of which Peter writes is the most important of all business. To prosper in this world may bring some advantages, but to prosper in heavenly things is infinitely better." "Give diligence to make your calling and election sure,"-that you may be sure of it, and that others may be sure of it too. Let it not continue a subject of question with you, "Am I the Lord’s, or am I not? Am I called by grace, am I chosen by God, or am I not?" Make these things sure beyond all doubt.
