2 Peter 1:8-11
King James Version
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:8-11
New European Version
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the precise and correct knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he that lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. 10 Wherefore brothers, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you shall never stumble. 11 For thus shall be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

8 We as Christians should be bearing fruit of the Spirit andshould have a godly influence by the path His has called us, if not then we areeither not following Christ close enough or have not made Him Lord of our life.Some of these fruits take time but some will come right away. If we have no fruitas Christians we may not be Christians. We will also grow in knowledge not anearthly knowledge but a Christ like knowledge as we grow closer to Him we willlearn more from Him, this will not happen if you never open the bible though.

9 There are those of the Faith who have left the path Godhad for them and then there are those who never followed God. These people donot embrace the truth or the Lord.

10 This is not saying we should boast about what the Lordhas called us to do but is saying by us doing what the Lord has called us to dopeople will know He is in us.

11 We will receive our reward from Him. All will be worth itwhen we see Him in glory.
