The Called

The Called, the Chosen and the Faithful - The Making of a Disciple. 
1. The Called.

The path of one who is Called, Chosen and remains Faithful is the Making of a Disciple of our Lord and Saviour. 
Not all have been elected but everyone will be called. 
Even those who lived and died on earth before the advent of Jesus were called by him as is written in 1 Peter 3: 19 to 20.

The Call of Jesus Christ to mankind can be appreciated in the account of how he Called his first Disciples in Matthew 4: 18 to 20.

The account goes thus:
18. As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 
19. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 
20. At once they left their nets and followed him.

Everyone born into this world will be called by Jesus Christ as it is written concerning Jesus inJohn 1: 9 KJV, "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

The Call of Jesus Christ to mankind is a call to every human being to experience the abundant life God foreplanned for mankind.

A call to be reconciled to God and constantly experience the cordial relationship that Adam and Eve had with Him at the beginning. 

A call to be Redeemed from the curse of the Fall of Mankind and the law of sin and death and bask in the restoration of the blessings and dominion God originally planned for His beloved creation.

In John 1:4 it is written, 
"In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind."

The life that is referred to as "the light of all mankind," is the heaven on earth - abundant life God initially planned for all mankind, and such supernatural existence on this earth can only be experienced as a result of one's complete confidence in Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour and God as our Almighty Father.

We are in a time war and the truth is only time will tell when our spirits will be recalled by the One who gave it. Today is all you've got. Right now is what we are all assured of.

Jesus is calling you to His service today by virtue of what you have just read. He is saying to you right now: 
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If "you" hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with "you", and "you" with me," as in Revelation 3: 20.

The choice is yours but I counsel you not to forsake Him now but answer the door as He won't knock forever.

Shalom
