Does God Really have a Call on your Life?
Very Rev. Andrew S. Faust, August 7, 2022 God calls us out of one way of life (our human nature - our will controlling) into God’s way for us (life directed daily by the Spirit of God). It comes down to, “Who is the Boss?” Remember, God does not exist for our sake- We exist for His sake. He has called us for His own purpose. He will guide you if you are willing. Rom. 8 :28 - God calls us, “called according to his purpose.” There are two parts to this - 1. The Called, 2. Called by God. We are called out of something into something. What are the implication to those who are called? Hebrews 3:1 tells us: “Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling” are to follow Jesus - #1 We respond (or not). It is a heavenly calling. God initiates it. 2 Timothy 1:8-9b “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling…” Implication #2-It is a holy calling. #3 – not because of anything of our own merit, but by His grace. Implication #4 It is according to His own Purpose. John 17:4 “I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.” God is glorified when we finish the work, He has prepared for us to do.
