What does the Bible say about making my calling and election sure?

In 2 Peter 1:10, believers are urged to 'give diligence to make your calling and election sure.' This indicates that while our salvation is ensured by God's sovereign grace, we are called to actively pursue an assurance of our standing before Him. This diligence includes self-examination and a sincere interest in the things of God, reflecting the fruit of genuine faith and calling in our lives. If we are truly in Christ, our lives will reflect a hunger for righteousness and a desire to grow in grace and knowledge of Him.
