"Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"- 2 Peter 1:10-11 (NIV).
No one comes to Jesus unless God the Father calls him (John 6:44). Once we respond to His calling, He delivers us from a sinful world and transfers our citizenship into the kingdom of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13-14). Our hearts should burst with joy and gratitude, because His kingdom cannot be shaken. Our gratitude should include heartfelt worship, reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28). We may not see death, if the Lord returns before our time, but if we do, we will awake to everlasting life in His eternal kingdom. Until that time, let us confirm our calling and shine like the brightness of the sky above; and if we guide others to accept God's calling, we will shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:2-3). Praise the Lord!
