  1. Calling and Election 2 Pet 1

  2. 2 Pet 1:10 Make sure your Calling and Election Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall

  3. 2 Pet 1:10 • Remind you • Refresh your memory • always be able to remember holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus (Heb 3.2)

  4. See your Calling 1 Cor 1:26-28 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.

  5. but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Cor 1:26-28 • No Flesh should glory in His presence • I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.

  6. Great and Precious Promises 2 Pet 1:3-4 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

  7. 2 Pet 1:3-4

  8. Make every effort to add 2 Pet 1:5-9 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self- control; and to self- control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive (barren and unfruitful) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

  10. Who is chosen of God?

  11. God’s Choice - David 1 Sam 16.12-13 • Rejected Saul from being King • "The Lord has not chosen these" - SEVEN elder brothers • Then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one” So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power.

  12. Called!! …Anointed!!… What Next? 1 Sam 17 • Father sent him back to tend the sheep • His brothers didn’t accept him – “I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is;” • Lion & bear came- I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. • Goliath came – despised him - So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

  14. Compose a song on an ENEMY? 2 Sam 2.19-27 • Glory-"Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen! • Military power - From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. • Economic Leadership "O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and finery, who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold. David's wonderful ability to approve the things that were excellent in Saul. To this day, Mount Gilboa is completely barren because here, David cursed it as the place where Saul and Jonathan fell.

  15. Saul’s Words 1 Sam 24.16-20 • Is that your voice, David my son?" And he wept aloud. 17 "You are more righteous than I," he said. "You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly. 18 You have just now told me of the good you did to me; the Lord delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me. 19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward you well for the way you treated me today. 20 I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.

  16. God with You • 8 "Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you.Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men of the earth. .. 'The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you:
