"FOR IF YE DO THESE THINGS, YE SHALL NEVER FALL." Where do you put your faith? Put your faith now in Jesus the only Saviour and Redeemer beyond a doubt; let there be no reason to question whether you are saved or not. Our calling separates us from sin, Satan, and the world, to holiness, Christ, and the church. Election is the root of calling; it is God's choosing us from others in Christ by grace, to holiness for His glory. We know our election of God by our being led to choose Christ, holiness, and heaven; to choose them freely, heartily, and consistently. If we thus choose them, we shall use every means to keep them. We know that we are called of God by our calling upon God gladly, heartily, constantly for holiness, salvation, and fellowship. When we thus call on God we carefully avoid all evil, and follow after everything that is good. Let us give all diligence to know our election, for it is worth all the pains we can take, or the time we may spend. Let us press on to know the Lord more intimately, to give ourselves entirely to the service of God, exercise ourselves unto godliness, rejoicing in the witness, earnest, and sealing of the Spirit, and cleave unto God with fulness of heart.

For Meditation:
Nothing is worth a thought beneath,
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies!
How make mine own election sure,
And, when I leave this earth, secure
A mansion 'bove in the skies!
