Call of the Chosen

Every believer is called.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." ~ Matthew 28:19-20

To recognize the call, we must first grasp...

Who God is

and

Who we are

Let's look at a few prophets.

Isaiah 6:5 says:
"Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty."

Jeremiah 1:6 says:
"Ah, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

Ezekiel 1:28 says:
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

Each of these prophets experienced the presence of God and acknowledged who God is and who we are.

Isaiah says God is the King, the Lord Almighty, and he himself is ruined, a man of unclean lips.
Jeremiah says God is the Sovereign Lord, and he himself is only a child and does not know how to speak.
Ezekiel says God is radiant, and he fell facedown.

When we as believers understand the core truth of who God is--the Lord God Almighty--and who we are--sinners created in His image and saved by grace, God will equip us and lead us into His good, pleasing and perfect will through transformation by the renewing of our minds.

Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
