To “make certain about his calling” means don’t be in two minds about the certainty of God’s hold on your life ([[John 10:28]]). He who called you and chose you will perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you ([[1 Peter 5:10]]).</ref><ref>King James Version</ref><ref>Whenever they look to themselves to supply that which God has supplied, they fall from grace. For this reason we need to be diligent to establish our hearts in the certainty of our Father’s love. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to convince us that we are holy and righteous and one with the Lord. We need to resist the temptation to take control and learn to walk in the new way of the Spirit.</ref><ref>Make it your habit of looking to the Lord for your supply. When your eyes are fixed on Jesus, you’ll never put a foot wrong.</ref> | |||
