Confirm Your Calling

How do Christians push back against a culture pulling families away from God? Peter's answer starts closer to home than you might expect: grow your own faith, and your influence will follow.

Confirm Your Calling is a Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen and Cain Atkinson that takes an in-depth look at 2 Peter 1:1–11. It's written for adult Bible classes, small groups, and personal study.

How This Study Helps

Many Christians want to make a difference for Christ in their homes and communities but aren't sure where to begin. Peter opens his second letter with some of the most practical instruction in the New Testament for that very fight. Before we can lead anyone else toward God, we have to take responsibility for adding to our own faith.

This study walks through that passage phrase by phrase. You'll be reminded that God has given you everything required for life and godliness, along with very great and precious promises that let you share in the divine nature and escape the world's corruption. Peter calls you to build virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love onto your faith, and he promises that those who do will never stumble. As that growth takes root, your influence on family, friends, and community grows with it.
