Message: “Make Your Calling and Election Sure” from Shawn Merithew

When Peter instructs believers to make our calling and election sure, he is not giving us the responsibility of “signing off” on God’s sovereign work of redemption. God knows with absolute certainty who is saved and who is not because it is His work. Therefore, Peter’s focus here is our assurance of our salvation. We verify our salvation for ourselves by examining ourselves to make sure we are producing biblical fruit. In doing this, we keep ourselves from stumbling and prepare ourselves for the glory of heaven.
