Therefore, brother, be even more diligent to make your call and your election sure, for if you do these things, you will never fall.
2 Peter 1: 10
Q & A：
- What are some of the deceptions you have come across as Jesus told us to take heed so that no one deceives you in the last days before His second coming? With the Great Commandment from Jesus in mind, have you thought of what the purpose is in your life compared to what you are chasing after in this world? (Matt 24:3-4; Matt 24:12-14; Acts 1:8; 2 Pet 1:10)
- Discuss if you have been diligent in making your call or decisions to achieve something and share the experience of how you stay focused to reach forward and press towards the goal or what temptations or obstacles end up turning you to give up instead. What can help you in making up your mind with your decision so that you know you will finish it? (Phi 3:13; John 4:34)
- Explain what it means for “out of the heart spring the issues of life” and how people in this world look at you in comparison to God’s focus on you. Discuss why the condition of our heart is so important in our lives through the parable of sowing seed on the different grounds. (Prov 4:23; Rev 7:9-11)
