"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: (11) For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
These are very sweet verses. And they contain a most salutary direction, When a Child of God can prove his calling, he thereby fully proves at the same time, his election. For it is an infallible truth of scripture, For whom he did predestinate, them he also called. Romans 8:30. And every new-born child of God is himself a living witness of being called. But having already, very largely dwelt upon both election and calling, in this Poor Man's Commentary. I have only to refer the Reader, to the same. Romans 8:30, and 1 Thessalonians 1:4, with the notes on both.
