Introduction
  • What does it mean to be “called by God?” People today seem to have a different understanding of it than what it meant in Bible times. Especially “called by God” to do something specific. Can we say the same today?
    • We are all called to SALVATION by the gospel.
    • II Thessalonians 2:14; 1:11-12
    • I Corinthians 1:2-6
      • There is no doubt that God called specific people to do specific things for Him in the Bible.
      • Jeremiah 1:4
      • Hebrews 5:1-4
      • Acts 9:3 – There was a specific thing God wanted Paul to do.
      • Acts 13:2
        • But God’s direct intervention in Bible times cannot be generalized to everyone.
        • Jeremiah 29:11, 1 – This was a letter to the exiles in Babylon.
        • Romans 10:14-15
        • Acts 16:6-10
        • Esther 4:14
          • Caution: I might interpret signs and violate God’s will.
          • I Samuel 24:1-7 – David’s men just knew this was a sign from God.
          • Matthew 19:9 – We know this is God’s will. If we feel we are receiving signs to divorce, we know that any signs could not go against God’s written will.
            • Instead of looking for signs, just get to work obeying the Bible.
            • Ephesians 2:10; 4:25-28
            • Luke 7:28-30
            • II Peter 1:10
