Just who do you think you are? James 1:22-25
1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Peter 1:10; calling and choosing you
Matthew 22:14 For many are called but few are chosen.
How did God call us?
John 6:44-45; via the Word
Matthew 28:18-20 via people
Acts 8:30-31; Ethiopian Eunuch
Romans 1:6-7; Why are we CALLED?
2 Timothy 1:8-9; holy calling
1 Peter 1:15-16; set apart
To worship and serve God
1 Timothy 2:1-4; John 1:51; Matthew 25; love enemy
BE SURE OF YOUR CALLING – HEAR & DO
How did God choose us?
1 Samuel 16:7; choosing the next king of Israel
John 1:47-49; choosing the apostles John 2:23-25
John 3:3-5; conviction of Holy Spirit John 1:12-13
Matthew 16:17; Peter’s conviction
Mark 4:26-29; Key – seeking heart
Acts 2:37; pierced to the heart Luke 24:45
Acts 7:54; they were cut to the quick
Hebrews 3:7,15; 4:7; be ready to respond
Acts 8:36; Ethiopian Eunuch, Matthew 12:18-21
God has not only called you but has chosen you and you responded Acts 2:38Matthew 11:28-31; He knows you can do it, you have the heart for it. Christians can fall away, that’s what we are warned about in Hebrews 2:1-3
Therefore, always remember to put into practice James 1:25But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer, this person will be blessed in what he does.
So, who do you think you are?
1 Peter 2:9-10 You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for god’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of god; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Now go and let the world know who you are!
