The concept of diligence involves careful and persistent effort, a steadfast commitment to pursuing God's will and purposes.<br><br><b>Biblical Foundation</b><br><br>The Apostle Peter underscores the necessity of diligence in the believer's life in his second epistle. In <a href="/2_peter/1-10.htm">2 Peter 1:10</a> , he exhorts, "Therefore, brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things, you will never stumble." Here, Peter links diligence with the assurance of salvation, suggesting that a proactive and earnest pursuit of godliness confirms one's status as a member of God's elect.<br><br><b>Diligence in Spiritual Growth</b><br><br>Diligence is not merely about avoiding sin but actively cultivating virtues that reflect the character of Christ. In <a href="/2_peter/1-5.htm">2 Peter 1:5-7</a> , believers are instructed to "make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." This progression of virtues requires intentional and sustained effort, highlighting the role of diligence in spiritual maturity.<br><br><b>The Role of Diligence in Assurance</b><br><br>The diligent pursuit of these virtues provides believers with a tangible assurance of their faith. As Peter notes in <a href="/2_peter/1-8.htm">2 Peter 1:8</a> , "For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." Diligence, therefore, serves as both a means of spiritual growth and a confirmation of one's relationship with Christ.<br><br><b>Diligence in the Broader Biblical Context</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, diligence is portrayed as a hallmark of the faithful. <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." This verse emphasizes the importance of vigilance in maintaining one's spiritual health. Similarly, <a href="/hebrews/6-11.htm">Hebrews 6:11-12</a> encourages believers to "show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."<br><br><b>Practical Implications</b><br><br>Diligence in the Christian life involves a commitment to regular prayer, study of Scripture, and active participation in the life of the church. It requires believers to be vigilant against complacency and to strive continually for holiness. The Apostle Paul, in <a href="/romans/12-11.htm">Romans 12:11</a> , exhorts, "Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." This call to maintain spiritual fervor underscores the necessity of diligence in every aspect of the Christian walk.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Diligence is a vital component of the Christian faith, integral to making one's calling and election sure. Through diligent effort, believers grow in their knowledge of Christ, develop godly character, and gain assurance of their salvation. The Scriptures consistently affirm that such diligence is not optional but required by God for those who seek to live faithfully and fruitfully in His service.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_peter/1-10.htm">2 Peter 1:10</a></span><br>Why the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/beveridge/private_thoughts_upon_a_christian_life/thoughts_upon_our_call_and.htm"><span class="l">Thoughts Upon <b>Our Call</b> and Election.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> for a Man to do all that is <b>required</b> of him <b>...</b> my hearty Desire and Prayer to the eternal<br> <b>God</b>, that every <b>...</b> it should rather excite us to greater <b>Diligence</b> about it <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../beveridge/private thoughts upon a christian life/thoughts upon our call and.htm</font><p><a href="/library/allestree/the_government_of_the_tongue/the_close.htm"><span class="l">The Close</span></a> <br><b>...</b> the more it ought to awake <b>our diligence</b>: if we <b>...</b> writ of the Philosopher's Stone have<br> <b>required</b> many personal <b>...</b> in its former excursions, to restore to <b>God</b> what it <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/allestree/the government of the tongue/the close.htm</font><p><a href="/library/chrysostom/homilies_on_the_gospel_of_saint_matthew/homily_i_god_hath_made.htm"><span class="l"><b>God</b> Hath Made Manifest</span></a> <br><b>...</b> for we [71] are on the point of entering into a city (if <b>God</b> permit) of <b>...</b> For through<br> his gate we shall now enter in, and much <b>diligence</b> is <b>required</b> on <b>our</b> <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../chrysostom/homilies on the gospel of saint matthew/homily i god hath made.htm</font><p><a href="/library/wesley/sermons_on_several_occasions/sermon_23_upon_our_lords.htm"><span class="l">Upon <b>Our</b> Lord's SermonOn the Mount</span></a> <br><b>...</b> measure of grace which he has received, he uses all <b>diligence</b>, either to <b>...</b> (2.)
