(Ezekiel 18:20-24; 33:12-16; Romans 11:4-6; 1:2; 2 Peter 1:10; 2:15-21.) No Unconditional Election—[2 Peter 1:2-10 quoted.] Here is the condition of the only saving election in the Word of God. We are to become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. We are to add grace to grace, and the promise is, “If ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”{6BC 1114.7}

(Ez. 18,20-24; 33,12-16; Rom. 11,4-6; 1 Peter 1,2; 2 Peter 1,10; 2,15-21.) Ingen ubetinget udvælgelse.--[2 Peter 1,2-10 citeret.] Her er betingelsen for den eneste frelsende udvælgelse i Guds Ord. Vi skal have del i guddommelig natur, have undgået det fordærv der er i verden gennem lyster. Vi skal lægge nåde til nåde, og løftet er: "Hvis I gør disse ting, skal I aldrig falde, for en sådan adgang skal tjene jer overmådeligt til vor Herre og Frelser Jesu Kristi evige rige."
