2 Peter 1:10-11!!) Therefore,brethren,be all the more certain about his calling and choosing you;for as long as you practice these things,YOU WILL NEVER STUMBLE;for in the way the entrance into the Eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ WILL BE ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED to YOU!

Brothers and sisters in Christ,how can one be so certain one may indeed ask??Through Holy Spirit who dwells within me,I shall tell you,then you as believers can judge for yourself whether I speak his truth,or my own! For my words only matter as much as God himself confirms this word in you!

And by his great power and established grace and love I believe truly he shall! You are certain and can always remain certain by the very fruit which is produced daily through your own belief.( john 15:1-7!!!)( our only work!John 6:28-29)

For the very faith of our beloved Jesus becomes perfected by the work of perfect belief in what our Jesus has already done! ( james 2:22!!!-26)For perfect belief results from his already perfect faith! For in Jesus there is no doubt in what he has already done,and if we believe this,then our belief is indeed perfected through his perfect faith! And the prize given from Jesus is our perfect result! In this one is certain about his or her calling! ( john 15:11-17!!) Blessing all!!

In all the years I have sought knowladge about God, I have trully learned that any certainty, is not attained by knowladge.
But by faith!
Scripture says, man may plan his course, but God determines his steps. :)

God bless

2 Peter 1 King James Version (KJV)

1*Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2*Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3*According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4*Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5*And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6*And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7*And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8*For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One way to add virtue to faith is by following even the early acts of Jesus. After public baptism He went out to the woods in solitude with God alone for a while...fasting. If a person follows that example and goes out for a while into a situation where they are trusting God for protection (at the least)...I know they will not regret it...and virtue will be added to their faith. Even scripture confirms a more powerful faith through fasting...and solitude is fasting from all that you do not bring with you.

Matthew 17:20-22King James Version (KJV)

20*And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21*Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

The church of Jesus Christ is called by many different names within the scriptures. Kingdom of God, kingdom of Christ, church of God , church of Christ, the new Jerusalem, the church in the wilderness, Zion, the church that is set on a hill, the little flock, etc, The kingdom of our Lord and Saviour has reference to his church. He has been king of his kingdom sense he set it up.

Interesting point forsha. Many believe the church is a place you need to go to,when in reality, we the believer bring church with us wherever we go! For even as Christ is the head of the church( Col 1:18) and will have first place in everything,we the body follow his headship! ( matt 18:19-20) It is true we do not forsake the assembling!( heb 10:25) We can also be content where two or more are ever gathered! It is never the building that ever matters,but the rather the Body Of Christ who enters that building.
