God is a giver! He gives life calling!

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Rom. 11:29 ESV)

All Christians are “called ones”

Calling defined: “The vocation or profession in which one customarily engages; a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence” (Webster). “The New Testament refers to the Christian life as a calling (Eph. 1:18; Eph. 4:1; 2 Tim. 1:9; Heb. 3:1; 2 Pet. 1:10). The basic call is to Christ as Lord and Savior; thus, all Christians are “called ones.” It is employed in a comprehensive way to depict what has happened to those who through the Father's love are now called children of God (1 John 3:1). However, there are further callings to special ministries (Acts 13:2). (Holman Bible Dictionary)

Doing what you were created to do, your “calling”

God has created each us for a special purpose. The Bible calls it a calling, or also, “walking in good works.” Eph. 2:10, says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Eph. 2:10 reveals that our created purpose enables us to do the good works that we are perfect for. We are “God’s workmanship” for a special purpose which is, “to do good works that He has “prepared in advance for us to do.” Think about what that means! You are a perfect fit for something that God has created you for! The perfect thing is your calling. Have you found it? If so, you will fit perfectly in your vocation doing what you get great pleasure doing. Sadly, many don’t find their created purpose and end up settling into something they don’t get personal fulfillment from.

Know the hope to which He has called you to

“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” (Eph. 1:18 NIV)

Walk worthy of your calling

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called, prisoner.” (Eph. 4:1 NIV)

It’s about God’s purpose and grace

“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.” (2 Tim. 1:9 NIV)

Therefore...

“Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.” (Heb. 3:3 NIV)
