EQUALITY IN HIS HOLY CALLING

We are loved by God constantly.  He will never fail His righteous Ones. God knows who belong to Him. He keeps them from harm. Psalm 121:3.  Jesus prayed to keep them.  John 17:11. He is faithful to do it 1Thes 5:23. How does God call His chosen Ones? He calls them with His Holy Calling, 2Tim 1:8-9.10. What is the benefit?  Calling on Him renders no failure. 2Peter 1:10. Infinite are His ways Rom 11:33, 30-32.  God sees both Jews and Gentiles in their un-belief. So He can give mercy to all equally.  What assurance God gives to those who heed to Him? God says, “All things work together for good to those who love Him and are called for His purpose”. Rom 8:28.  When we are faced with tribulations we know where we stand.  Rom 5:3-5. A lot of people are asking.“ Why am I still being chastened or humbled as a Believer?” Praise the Lord. Reprimanded by God means you are a child of the Most High God. If children, what is expected from us? He gives us the opportunity to serve Him only.  The Bible says “These sufferings of ours are for your benefit. And the more of you who are won to Christ, the more there are to thank Him for His great kindness, and the more the Lord is glorified. Persist in living the holy life. That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our inner strength in the Lord is growing every day.  These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won’t last very long. Yet this short time of distress will result in God’s richest blessing upon us forever and ever!  So we do not look at what we can see right now, the troubles all around us, but we look forward to the joys in heaven which we have not yet seen. The troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever. God’s Word says. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecc 12:13. Year 2025 is already prepared for us. In Jesus Name. Amen.
