Daniel had in him excellent Spirit | 605BC
3 Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
Almost 770 years after, still there was hostilities | Injustice | Terrible Trouble | Extreme Persecution
Peter wrote his 2nd letter to group of believer in 64AD
Encouraging them to live righteously | remain faithful
Challenged them to confirm their Calling & Election
Because they had the same Spirit that raised Jesus
We are elected / chosen - | eklektos
22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
We are called - | kletos
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
READ TEXT: Confirm You Calling
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.
11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
