So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
2 Peter 1:10

Do you know that you know that you know you are saved? I remember an evangelist some 30 years ago make that statement several times during a revival weekend. It has stuck with me.

Our scripture today warns us “be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you“. Why?

For many are called (invited), but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:14 NASB

A very important word, “Therefore”, begins our scripture passage today. “Therefore” calls us to look back to see what we should practice. Join me tomorrow as we begin to unfold the way we can —
🌹Know that you know that you know!

Continually Seeking Him,
