Make Your Election Sure

This is the season of elections and on a worldly level we sometimes feel desperate to have our candidate win. Believers too have an election where we need to make sure we will receive a welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Peter said, “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins” (2 Peter 1:5-9 NIV).
