Remember to read over the resolutions once a week, as it is accumulated each week. 

#1. Resolved, to be diligent to make my calling and election sure (2 Pet. 1:10)

In and through Christ, I have been made holy in my standing before God; in and through Christ, I am called to reflect that standing by being holy in daily life. In and through Christ, I have the title and boldness to enter heaven; in and through Christ, I must pursue and strive for the fitness of condition to enter heaven, and do all the preparation necessary to enjoy heaven. In and through Christ, I have received a clean status before God; in and through Christ, I must work for the clear conscience and the blessing of daily assurances of that very status. In the strength of Christ alone, I am called to be in life what I already am in principle in Christ.

"There is no imagination, wherewith man is, besotted, more foolish, none so pernicious, as this---that persons not purified, not sanctified, not made holy in their life, should afterwards be taken into that state of blessedness, which consists of the enjoyment of God. Neither can such person enjoy God, nor would God be a reward to them. Holiness is indeed perfected in heaven, but the beginning of it is invariably conferred, to this world. God leads none to heaven, but whom He sanctifies on earth. The living Head will not admit dead members." (John Owen)
