EXAMINING THE GODLY LIFE!
The Bible reminds us in 1 Peter 1: 1-4 that through the Knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, we have been given ALL THINGS pertaining to living a Godly Life! This is not just living but living in earth as one of the children of God. It is through the ONE WHO CALLED US that we come into the Knowledge of HIM and THE WAY TO COME IN, ENTER, & BECOME ONE with God. The Way given in the Call of God is the WAY of Jesus Christ!
It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that one can answer The Call of God, TO COME TO HIM. This is The Heavenly Call of God to return and be reconciled with the Creator of your very being, Our Father (Hebrews 3:1) Apostle Paul reminds us there is ONLY ONE CALL.......A CALL TO HIM!
The answer to The HEAVENLY CALL to God has a specific answer for those that will hear. The one who answers the call is saying “Yes” to being “conformed into the image of His Son”. (Romans 8:29) Many are given the opportunity to answer, “The Call” as Jesus came to “save the world.” (1 John4:14) However there are only a few that will agree to be as God predestined His Call to be, in the Image of Jesus. (Matthew 20:1-16)
The reality of being saved and enduring until the end of salvation in Jesus Christ is that there is a destination of those God will choose from the ones given the opportunity of The Heavenly Call. This destination is to be conformed, transformed into the image and likeness of His Son, becoming whom the Father created when He created mankind in the Image and likeness of Himself. (Genesis 1:26)
It is wonderful to come into the knowledge that is embedded in the “making” of us in the “new creation” of Jesus Christ through the divine power of God. (2 Corinthians 5:17) This knowledge is that we are given ALL THAT WE NEED TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE IN JESUS!
In The Heavenly Call we are positioned to be “Of Him” and “For HIM”. The position “Of HIM” places us in His Image as one that is made “Of HIM”. We are to be Holy as He is HOLY! (1 Peter 1:16) We carry the DNA of our Father, who chose us in the Life of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:4) This is the calling to BE OF OUR FATHER in the earth, as He is…HOLY. This is the calling to HOLINESS in the Heavenly Calling of God! (1 Thessalonians 4:7)
Not only are we positioned in The Heavenly Call of God to be Holy, but we are also positioned to be “For Him”. As one positioned “For HIM” we are created in the likeness of Jesus as He demonstrated from beginning of His birth to the exalted ending of His earthly life. (Philippians 2) The position Jesus walked in from the beginning was unto to death to Serve God! This is the Mark of the High Calling of God! (Philippians 3:14)
Jesus came to die at the service, devotion for the Father. It pleased God that He be bruised for us. (Isaiah 53:10) Jesus tells us himself that He came to serve! Jesus served the Father in His will to reconcile mankind to Himself, and in THIS service, He was a gift to many. (Matthew 20:28) This is the High Callings of Christ in the only Call of God, the Heavenly Calling.
Never forget Jesus Came to Reconcile the World, Return the World to The Creator, our Father! This is the only Call of God! Everything else is IN THIS CALL. Don’t miss the order of Your Salvation, to be reconciled to God and it is there You Must Endure until the end. Where is There, in the life of Jesus Christ! It’s always about the One Who Called You and His Pleasure! And His pleasure is in RECONCILATION!
Be Renewed in your minds today, it is freedom indeed!
