Entrance to the Everlasting Kingdom 2 Peter 1:5-11

2 Peter 1:5-11 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Does Living As Christian Have Promise Making It Worth Difficulties?

Must Make Traits Ours & Abound Acceptance with God has always demanded an abounding presence of proper character Deut. 6:5 Love God with all heart, soul & might Deut. 10:12 Walk & serve God in all ways w/ all heart Gospel demands abounding service of Christians 1 Cor. 15:58 Always abounding in work of the Lord 2 Cor. 9:8 Abound unto every good work If we seek the minimum of service (“what do we have to do”), our attitude will prevent full service Our spiritual service is opportunity, not “have to”

Will Not Be Barren or Unfruitful Abounding service will produce obvious results Lack of fruit is unacceptable to the Lord Matt. 3:8-10 Jews condemned for being fruitless Matt. 13:22 Thorny soil became unfruitful Lk. 13:6-9 Time give to bear fruit, but must produce Fruit is the natural product of Christian’s character Eph. 5:7-10 “The fruit of the light is…” Gal. 5:22f “The fruit of the Spirit is…” Spreading truth & exemplifying godly character is fruit expected (1 Cor. 3:12-15; 2 Pet. 2:5)

Unfruitfulness Blindness (Short-Sighted) Is Due To

If Ours & Abound, Will Enter Heaven Promise of heavenly home is certain to the faithful Jn. 14:1-3 “If it were not so, I would have told you” Heb. 6:19-20 A hope both sure and steadfast 1 Pet. 1:3-7 Incorruptible, undefiled, fades not away Col. 1:3-6 Hope laid up in the heavens Heb. 11:16 Better, heavenly country for unashamed Rev. 22:14 Right to enter based on purity 2 Cor. 5:1-9 Long for heaven, so live well-pleasing Heaven is not an eternal destiny by surprise It is a prepared place for a prepared people Are we prepared for home of God’s holy servants?
