A permanent experience

So then, my brothers,

try even harder to make God=s call

and his choice of you

a permanent experience;

if you do so, you will never abandon your faith.

In this way you will be given the full right

to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ.

And so I will always remind you of these matters,

even though you already know them

and are firmly grounded in the truth you have received.

2 Peter 1:10-11
