Jim Osman examines 2 Peter 1:10-11, revealing how believers can never stumble spiritually through diligent virtue cultivation. Moreover, spiritual diligence provides three essential blessings: salvation assurance, preservation from moral failure, and triumphant kingdom entrance. Additionally, pursuing moral excellence, knowledge, and self-control keeps Christians from becoming theological shipwrecks like false teachers. Therefore, those who never stumble spiritually through faithful obedience receive abundant entrance into Christ's eternal kingdom with varying degrees of reward.

Jim Osman continues his exposition of 2 Peter 1:10-11, explaining the believer’s assurance of election and calling. This passage highlights the spiritual diligence required to cultivate assurance of election by adding godly virtues to faith. Grounding his teaching in the doctrines of divine calling and sovereign grace, Pastor Jim confronts common misconceptions about election and encourages believers to pursue a life of holiness. The assurance of election is both a humbling and comforting truth for God’s people.

Justin Peters examines the sin of partiality in James 2:1-9. He reveals how favoritism contradicts God's impartial nature. Peters uses practical examples to show that showing preference based on wealth dishonors God's image in all people. The sin of partiality betrays a misunderstanding of the gospel. Christians must embrace God's impartial character. They should remember that divine election humbles believers. God chose them by grace alone, not personal merit.

Jim Osman unpacks 2 Peter 1:10-11 in this sermon on making election sure. He exhorts believers to pursue spiritual diligence by cultivating Christian virtues, thereby confirming their calling and election. Making election sure offers assurance of salvation, steadiness in faith, and a confident entrance into Christ’s eternal kingdom. Osman's message clarifies that assurance is both possible and desirable for Christians who walk in holiness and trust in Christ alone.

Jim Osman contrasts the diligent and the negligent believer in this powerful exposition of 2 Peter 1:8-9. He explains how a fruitful Christian life grows through consistent effort rather than relying on shortcuts or quick fixes. Those who pursue godly virtues with diligence experience a fruitful Christian life marked by usefulness and growth, while others risk becoming spiritually blind and forgetful of God’s grace.

In this message, Jim Osman continues his exposition on eight fruitful virtues from 2 Peter 1:5-7. Focusing on perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love, he explains how growth in these areas requires effort and the grace of God. Osman emphasizes the necessity of practicing the eight fruitful virtues with intentionality, highlighting that Christian maturity and usefulness are deeply rooted in these qualities.

In this message, Pastor Jim Osman begins a detailed study of eight fruitful virtues from 2 Peter 1:5-7. These qualities—beginning with faith and extending through self-control—are to be cultivated with diligence by every believer. Osman clearly explains how the eight fruitful virtues form a foundation for a Christ-honoring life. This rich teaching encourages self-examination and growth in godliness.

Jim Osman teaches that applying all diligence is essential for Christian growth. Believers must cultivate virtues such as moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, and love. By using all diligence, Christians respond to God’s grace earnestly, avoiding legalism and complacency. Osman underscores that this pursuit is not about earning salvation but working it out through sanctification, grounded in faith and empowered by God’s provision.
