Called-Out

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8 NASB

Abraham was called by God. He knew God had a plan for him so he followed God, not knowing where he was going. He followed in obedience by faith.

Do you profess to be a Christian? Are you willing to follow God in obedient faith, totally trusting in Him and His call on your life? You are not your own.

🌹But you are a chosen race, 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;
1 Peter 2:9 NASB

Know That You Know That You Know

Dec8

Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
2 Peter 1:10

Do you know that you know that you know you are saved? I remember an evangelist some 30 years ago make that statement several times during a revival weekend. It has stuck with me.

Our scripture today warns us “be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you“. Why?

For many are called (invited), but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:14 NASB

A very important word, “Therefore”, begins our scripture passage today. “Therefore” calls us to look back to see what we should practice. Join me tomorrow as we begin to unfold the way we can —
🌹Know that you know that you know!
