What Do the Called Receive From God in This Life? | May 4 In this episode of Strength for Today, Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, Tennessee, explores 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 and Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 32 to answer a crucial question: What do those who are effectually called by God receive in this life? Many people wonder what truly changes when someone becomes a Christian. According to Scripture, those called by God receive justification, adoption, sanctification, and many other life-transforming benefits. These aren't just theological words—they describe a real transformation from being dead in sin to alive in Christ. Discover how the gospel not only forgives but renews, how grace reorients your life toward God, and how you can walk in holiness and assurance as one who has been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God. Topics Covered: • The meaning and significance of being effectually called • What Scripture says about your identity after salvation • Justification, adoption, sanctification, and their practical effects • Encouragement for those struggling with sin and assurance • Reformed Presbyterian theology made simple and accessible Key Bible Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 Theology Focus: Westminster Shorter Catechism Q.32 Subscribe for daily biblical encouragement and sound Reformed teaching.
