Peter’s second letter would also help us in the sense of addition. Not simply objective truth but what is done in my soul in real progress. “For doing these things ye will never fall”. That 101

is a fine word, “never fall”. “Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall; for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you”, 2 Peter 1: 10, 11. Many rely on objective Christianity and neglect the corresponding experience in the soul. It is in “doing these things ye will never fall”. It is in this alone we can have steady assurance.
