1 CORINTHIANS 1:2
"To you who have been CALLED BY GOD to be His holy people. He made you holy by means of Jesus Christ, just as He did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Can we grasp how wonderful it is to be called by God? Is it even possible to conceive what it means to be God's holy people? All that is holy and eternal are now ours because we called on the name of Jesus Christ. We confessed with our mouths and believed in our hearts that Jesus was raised from the dead. Now we can be called the children of God. His called, His elected, His Holy people! We come from everywhere around the world and are all linked together by these simple acts of belief and worship.
Now we have a church, an assembly of Gods children, consecrated and purified and made holy by Jesus Christ. We are the selected saints and God's people, who in every and all places call upon the name of our Lord and offer Him honor and glory. He is our God and their God. We can trust and be assured that as our Father He will keep His promises that are found in His word and the words of the prophets. What a blessed assurance.
If you feel left out, much like an orphan feels, there is a hope for you and a future. You do not have to be separated from your Father and you can obtain a whole new family that is uncountable. If you are afraid and alone and angry at what your life has become, there is an answer to all your questions and problems. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Confess with your mouth that He is your Lord and in your heart know and believe that God raised Him from the dead to give life to you. If you do these things you too will be CALLED BY GOD!
