Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Peter 1:10

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling , and election sure : for if ye do these things , ye shall never fall .

Viz. In the Exercise of the forementioned Graces.

Your effectual Calling to the Faith of Christ.

Your eternal Election to Grace and Glory.

Not in respect of God; whose Counsel is in it self sure and stable, Rom. 11.29. 2 Tim. 2.19. but in respect of your selves, who may best discern the cause by its effects, and so your Election by your good Works to which you were chosen, Ephes. 1.4. and which prove your Calling, (as being the proper genuine Fruits of it, Ephes. 4.1, 2. &c.) as that doth Election from whence it proceeds, Acts 13.48. Rom. 8.30.

The things prescribed, v. 5, 6, 7.

Not wholly apostatize from God's ways, nor so fall through Temptation into any Sin, as not to recover out of it.
