Called to Belong
Called to Belong
“When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.
They sacrificed to the Baals
and they burned incense to images.
you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
“Who has stirred up one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Called to Do
Called to Do
you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Calling does not equal career
Calling does not equal clergy
Calling does not equal marriage partner
Calling does not usually involve a radical change in your place or situation
Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.
Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Calling does not equal training or certification
Calling does not come about as a result of holiness
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
Calling is not about a mystical voice or warm fuzzy feeling
