"Worthy of Your Calling"

“Worthy of Your Calling”

Therefore I, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love, diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us.     Ephesians 4:1-3



I feel that the very first thing we need to know about being WORTHY of our CALLING is; the definition of the word “WORTHY.”  This word means: to be DESERVING.  So, what makes us WORTHY?  And what is our CALLING?  The ONE thing that makes a person WORTHY is GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE, for mankind.  And His desire that mankind be FORGIVEN of their SINS, and their REBELLION against Him and His Only Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who became the SUPREME SACRIFICE, by dying on a CRUEL, ROMAN CROSS, but then being RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE, so that mankind’s DESTINY would be an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, and for them to be able to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after they are there.   So, it’s by God’s ABUNDANT MERCY, AMAZING GRACE, that this is made POSSIBLE through His UNFAILING LOVE.  What makes us WORTHY, is when we become a TRUE CHILD of God, through our ACCEPTANCE of JESUS CHRIST, as our SAVIOR and LORD.



What is our CALLING?  The CALLING is for the SALVATION of one’s soul, thus giving them the HOPE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And we are CALLED to “walk” or “live” WORTHY of that CALLING, by the LIFESTYLE we live, or the WITNESS we share with a LOST and DYING WORLD.  Humility, gentleness, patience, and ACCEPTING one another in LOVE, and diligently keeping the UNITY of the SPIRIT with PEACE, are the attributes of being WORTHY of OUR CALLING. 



However, for those who do NOT KNOW God, and do NOT OBEY the GOSPEL of our LORD JESUS, they will face PUNISHMENT with EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION, and shut out from the PRESENCE of the LORD and from the GLORY of HIS might.  (2 Thess. 1:8-9) They will be sentenced to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, this is YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY.  You can, however, CHANGE that DESTINY by:  WILLINGLY TURNING AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURNING TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESSING your sins to Him, and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU and that HE is alive in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, if you want to have an ETERNITY in Heaven, with ALL its BLESSINGS. And let Him make you WORTHY of your CALLING.  Do this NOW, while you still can.   He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
