Transforming Perspectives | Having our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life, is an obscured authentication of believer's Faith in Jesus Christ. Biblically, it is a wondrous act, conveyed when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, of one's proof of having entered into the kingdom of God, born of the Spirit. The Lamb's book of life, distinct from the book of life, contains the records of every person having accepted Jesus Christ, as the righteousness of God, and the propitiation for their sins, the atoning sacrifice satisfying the penalty of death, and becoming born again. Formidably, the book of life, are accountings and recordation of all creation as well as all humanity on earth. This Book is more than ledgers as men would believe, but actuaries in the realm of the counsel of God. Archives of his knowledge and observance of every person, as expressed by David, exalting Almighty God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet, there was none of them.” Psalms 139:16, English Standard Version.In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John, received in visions, Letters from the Lord written to the ‘Seven Churches,' exhorting of them his assessment of their Faith. Noteworthy, are the significances of the Lord's frankness, timing and urgency of the delivered messages. An erroneous assumption for believers of the prophetic narrative, is to overlook or underestimate the audience defining each Church to whom the Lord addresses and of their position of Faith, as Jesus says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:5-6, King James Version.Pray, Read and Study | The Book of Revelation Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 21.__________________Thank you for joining and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

2 Peter 1:8-11 October 19, 2025 PM.Peter promises us that those who are true Christians showing abundant fruit will be fruitful and productive children of God. Peter also warns us that those who lack fruit show themselves to be no Christians at all. Therefore, in addition to giving God all glory, the fruit of living Christian lives gives us great assurance of our salvation and the reward of an eternal Kingdom
A living faith in Christ results in greater assurance of salvation. I. FRUIT OF DILIGENCE II. ABSENCE OF DILIGENCE III. DESTINY OF DILIGENCE
2 Peter 1:10-11 says you have a role in securing your calling and election. How can your actions affect what God has already done? And how can you anchor your faith to ensure you never drift away? In this message, we dive deep into: * The biblical meaning of election as God's choice for salvation (Ephesians 1:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:13). * How calling isn't just an invitation but God's powerful draw to share in His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4). * Warnings from Romans 9-11 about the fluid nature of election based on faith and perseverance. * Practical steps to overcome spiritual complacency and grow in virtues by trusting God's promises (2 Peter 1:5-9).

The Portage church of Christ is a group of pre-denominational Christians that are striving to serve the Lord together. Our goal is to please God, and we believe that the best way to do that is to follow the pattern that was established by the churches in the first century and revealed in the New Testament. We have no creed or doctrine except the Bible and we follow the Bible only. We strive for unity in the teaching of New Testament doctrine. Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first century was. How does one becomes a member of this church congregation? The exact same way as seen in the Biblical accounts. On the day of Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection, people who repented and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or church (Colossians 1:18). To become a Christian, the Bible teaches: Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58, Heb. 11:6) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5) Confess Jesus as Lord (Matt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16) Remain Faithful to Christ (Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim 4:7-8)
Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!It's not that I'm cynical; really I'm not. But sometimes I just need a little extra testimony to convince me that things are as they present themselves. And that's not a bad thing. Today we'll discuss how to get confirmation of our eternal destiny; how God's claims are even more outrageous than those of a professional athlete – and that's saying something; how God speaks to us to tell us we're on the right track (or not); and the risks we take in games and in life when we take people at their word.Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

Lakewoods Drive is an autonomous group of Christians dedicated to praising God, teaching the gospel to all who will hear, training Christians in righteousness, and serving our God and one another faithfully.

FISHERMAN PETER WRITES:2 PETER 1: 10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, GIVE DILIGENCEto make your CALLING and ELECTION SURE: for IF ye DO THESE THIMGS, ye shall NEVER FALL:FISHERMAN PETER BEGINS THIS EPISTLE BY WARNING HIS BRETHREN NOT TO FALL FOR MANY OF THE SAINTS DO FALL AND END THEIR LIFE IN DISGRACE AS A BELIEVER, AND HE DOESN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, FOR HE IS GOING TO BE DEPARTING FROM HIS BODY SOON, AND HE, OUT OF EXPERIENCE, WANTS To GIVE THEM 7 THINGS THEY CAN DO, TO DIE, NOT IN DISGRACE, BUT IN BRINGING HONOUR TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRISTSO PETER WARNS THEM:2Peter 1: [10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, GIVE DILIGENCE to make YOUR CALLING and ELECTION SURE:for if ye DO THESE THINGS ye shall NEVER FALL. WHAT THINGS?[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.[8] For if THESE THINGS BE IN YOU AND ABOUND, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.[9] But he that lacketh THESE THINGS is blind, and CANNOT SEE AFAR OFF,and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.FISHERMAN PETER IN THIS 2ND EPISTLE TELLS US HE IS ABOUT TO DEPART FROM HIS TABERNACLE, OR HIS TENT, OR HIS BODY WHICH HE NOW DWELLS: NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY HE IS DYING, BECAUSE HE ISN'T, BUT HE IS SIMPLY DEPARTING FROM HIS DEAD BODY. 2 Peter 1: [13] Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;[14] Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.[15] Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have THESE THINGS always in remembrance.[16] For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Sunday, July 21, 2024—We are continuing our study of 2 Peter. Today’s message is titled “Making our Calling and Election Sure.” Peter continues to discuss the importance of every person “making every effort” to grow in the 7 major characteristics of God in order to protect us from becoming unproductive and ineffective in the Kingdom, and most importantly, to be welcomed by God into His eternal Heavenly Kingdom. To do this, we must “abide” in Christ. Read John 15 and study what it means to abide in Christ. Then, ask yourself some questions to see if you are abiding in Him or if you are at risk of detaching yourself from the vine. As we follow through on our walk with Christ, we are making our “calling and election” sure, and in doing so, we are building a solid and strong foundation that will help us persevere to the end with patient obedience. Worship and study with us!

Send us a Text Message.How can you be sure your faith is more than just words? This episode is a deep dive into the heart of Christian assurance and spiritual growth, drawing from the profound insights of 2 Peter 1:5-10. We unpack the crucial difference between merely hearing the gospel and experiencing the transformative inward call of the Holy Spirit, which marks authentic salvation. Water baptism, a public declaration of our faith, is also demystified, emphasizing its role as a symbol rather than a means to salvation. Join us as we explore the foundations of a secure, dynamic faith that propels believers toward a fulfilling walk with Christ.Are you grounded in your divine calling and election? We address this and other pressing concerns head-on, providing a candid discussion on the doctrine of election, which for many can be a tough pill to swallow. Election isn't about elitism or exclusivity; it's about resting in God's grace and recognizing that our response to His call shapes our journey of trust and obedience. We'll guide you through understanding how your personal story fits into the larger narrative of God's redemptive plan, and why this knowledge is vital for navigating the trials and tribulations of life with unwavering faith.As we wrap up, we don't shy away from confronting the current political climate's impact on Christians. We call for introspection on where our allegiances truly lie and encourage the strengthening of faith through prayer and engagement with grace. The episode culminates with a poignant reminder of the triune God's role in our salvation and an open, albeit declined, invitation for dialogue with a critic. So, come be part of a conversation that will leave you both challenged and comforted, ready to embrace the blessings of the Lord's Day with conviction and joy.Support the Show.

Welcome to The Master's Voice End Times Prophecy Blog: (Hear the words of the Lord). https://the-masters-voice.com Today's word: There is a need to take ownership of the work of salvation. The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:10- "Therefore brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble." The church is stumbling badly; she keeps giving the wheel of her final destination to others instead of mastering the drive to eternity - each man for himself. Prophecy and Rapture are twin jet engines driving many off a cliff, but we must realize that without mature faith, responsible study and absolute adherence to what God says many of us will seriously struggle when the pressures of the last days mount.

By Mark Welch in Cincinnati East, OH - April 22, 2023 - On a recent trip to Turkey and the seven Churches of Revelation, it became more clear to me that now is my day of salvation, just as it was for the first-century Christians who lived in Asia Minor. I am to make my calling and election sure, so I may find entrance into the Kingdom of God.
