Make your calling and election sure

In,(2Peter 1:10) God said "MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE".Someone might ask,Just how do we do this?Lets look in the book,(THE BIBLE).God has given us every thing we need to make this journey.The Bible is more than just a book it is the holy, infallible, word of God.This book was not written by man,It does not contain mans wisdom,Nor by mans wisdom can the treasures and secrets be found.God only, can reveal his word.Its not the educated scholar that finds God hidden in his word.It is the truly born again Holy Ghost filled childe of God,thats who God reveals himself to.The scripture says,Unto babies who will learn.Not the educated scholar,who is so full of pomp and himself that he cant humble himself before God,we are not anything. The Bible says,"OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AS FILTHY RAGS",just meditate on this,ponder it in your heart to fully grasp what God is saying.God is revealed in his word.From Genesis to Revelation he has given us his words that he has preserved,(PSALMS 12:6,7)
The old and the new from start to finish is all the word of God.It is all profitable,otherwise Almighty God would not have given it to us.First lets look at the true plan of salvation according to the scriptures,(ACTS 2:38)remembering in(MATTHEW 16:18,19)God gave Peter the keys to the kingdom and in (ACTS 2:38) we see those keys unlocking the plan of salvation for every man.Peter said "Repent every one of you".He was not excluding any,but the word was to all.Now remember Jacobs ladder you start at the bottom step and you climb it one step at a time.So is the plan of salvation;step one,repntence,step too,water baptism in JESUS name,step three be filled with the HOLY GHOST.We have to obey every command,and take every step in the order that God has laid out.Remember God is infallible he is NEVER wrong,he NEVER makes a mistake,he knows just what it will take to make it.Hes the one that wrote the book,and hes the one thats provided the plan.God is always looking to help us. He loves us and his desire is that none should perish.But through studying the scriptures we know that there will only be a remnant.Thats why God said"Be diligent to make your calling and election sure.I would encourage anyone who is reading this to get into the scriptures(PRAYERFULLY).The Bible is the book of wisdom,Gods wisdom,and that is what every man needs.Man has drifted so far from God,as the Bible says,"Hes on the outside".Mans theology and doctrine has put the WORD OF GOD,(JESUS CHRST)out.We have lots of whited sepulchres but inside they are full of dead mens bones.The Bible says there is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof is death.We better get in touch with the author of the book.He is the only one that can open up the eyes of your understanding.This wisdom,this revelation does not come out of the schools of theology nor the seminaries.Lets look at Paul,God had to empty him out of all he had learned from Gamaliel and start over,teaching Paul TRUTH straight from glory.Mans wisdom only conflicts with the wisdom of God.God calls preachers and teachers that he places over his flock.But it is the Holy Ghost in them that is the teacher or the preacher.Its not by education but it is by revelation,and revelation of the word of God comes only from the Spirit of God.So how do we make our calling and election sure,Its according to the word of God revealed.Our lives must line up with the scriptures.We will only enter the kingdom Gods way.God said if you try to get up any other way you are a theif and a robber.Remember the one who had slipped into the wedding supper and God said,friend how did you get in here seeing you dont have on the wedding garment(The word of God,We must be clothed in the word)cast him into outer darkness,there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.This is very serious and should not be overlooked or taken lightly,God is not playing he wants us to make it but its up to us,Choose Ye This Day Whom You Will Serve.Some people think,and have been taught,that all you have to do is believe.Believing is only the first step up the ladder we must continue to go forward in our walk with God.God is not dead,he is still leading his people.We must walk in all the light that he shines on our path.That light is the word of God revealed.The scripture says not the hearers only,but the doers of the word.If we believe his word then we will do all he commands.Some people will wrestle the scriptures and this will be to their own destruction.Gods ways are not our ways,He said"Lean not unto thine own understanding but in ALL thy ways acknowledge me and I will direct thy paths".We start out as babies,first we crawl,then we learn to walk,pretty soon we are running.And as David said, I ran through their troops and leaped over their walls.There are troops of well meaning religious people they are kept in by denominational walls.But as God shines the light of revelation on your path like David,you will run through their troops and leap over their walls.This is taking another step up that ladder.In the book of Revelation we see this again in chapter 18 verse 4.When God said,"Come out of her MY PEOPLE."God reveals that her,the woman types the church.Come out of her,"Orginized Religion",that ye be not partakers of her sins,and that ye receive not of her plagues.Again these scriptures are very serious.The orginized church world today has put God out,they have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.They do GREATLY err for they dont know the scriptures nor the power of God.The power of the scriptures is God.It is his infallible,unchangeable,holy word.There is so much in his word that needs our prayerful attintion and devotion.God is willing to lead us if we will ASK,SEEK,AND KNOCK.If we will surrender our whole heart and let God lead we will have real experiences with our Heavenly Father.It wont be just head knowledge,you will experience salvation as God entends his children to.God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think.In closing I would encourage you to search the scriptures for in them you might think you have eternal life,and by the scriptures make your calling and election sure.
