How do we know if our calling and election is sure?

Peter highlights in 2 Peter 1:10-11 that diligent growth in faith leads to assurance of our calling and election. As believers, we are encouraged to actively engage in spiritual practices, such as prayer, study of God's Word, and exhibiting virtues like patience and godliness. The presence of these qualities in our lives serves as evidence of the Holy Spirit's work within us, confirming our identity as children of God. Moreover, genuine faith will produce fruit, indicating we are not only called but also chosen and transformed by God's grace.
