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

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible encourages believers to be diligent in confirming their calling and election to ensure they are grounded in their faith.

In 2 Peter 1:10, the Apostle Peter commands believers to 'make your calling and election sure.' This means that while our salvation is ultimately secured by Christ's righteousness, we must actively engage in confirming our faith and understanding of God's grace. Being diligent in this regard allows us to recognize the genuineness of our faith and to care for the evidence of salvation that is visible in our lives, such as love and virtuous living. This diligence is not about earning salvation, but rather about acknowledging the transformation that God accomplishes within us through His Spirit.
