In 2 Peter, Peter exhorts all who read his letter to make their calling and election sure by diligently pursuing the fruit of the Spirit. 'For in this way,' he writes, 'there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' (2 Peter 1:11, ESV).
In The Assurance of Salvation series, Dr. R.C. Sproul addresses the importance of living in pursuit of holiness over against 'easy believism.' He explores the doctrine of assurance as he helps to explain the relationship between the Christian life and the work of Christ Jesus on our behalf.
