NIV 2 Peter 1:10-11  10.  Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
 11.  and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This book is written to believers Elsie

Piper says it this way
Peter is saying "Confirm your election! Make sure of it!" How? By standing in your faith and pressing on to virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly affection and love. John said (in 1 John 3:14), "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren" (cf. 2:3). The confirmation of your election is your progress in sanctification. God predestined all the elect to be conformed to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). Therefore, the reassuring evidence of our election is Christ-likeness.

I say it is all of God..from begining to end ..His grace called me,saved me and preserves me. He is the author and finisher of my faith ..not one wit me

Phl 2:13   For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

[Elsie]

The confirmation of your election is your progress in sanctification. God predestined all the elect to be conformed to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). Therefore, the reassuring evidence of our election is Christ-likeness.

BUT.......

WHY does it need to be confirmed?

WHY does it need to be reassured?
