When we read in 2 Peter1:10, “Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble”

We know that Peter is talking to Jews and that their election has nothing to do with salvation.

Therefore, this is not a Calvinistic call for us to somehow make sure that we have been chosen to eternal life! It is rather a reminder to the chosen people to embrace the fact that they were elected, chosen by God to be His special treasure. However, their election is by no means an absolute guarantee that they will inherit eternal life.

Paul validates this fact so clearly when he wrote a letter to his spiritual son Timothy in

2 Timothy 2:10, “Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”

Note well that Paul must endure for the elect, the Jews so that they too might be saved.

As we have seen, election has nothing to do with salvation.

Furthermore, election is generally a term used of the Jews, who are of course, the chosen people.

This is confirmed yet again by Paul, who is speaking about the Jews.

Romans 11:28, “Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.”
