WE ARE CALLED
Romans 8:28-30 And we know that all
things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the
CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS
PURPOSE. (29) For whom He
foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the firstborn among
many brethren. (30) Moreover whom
He predestined, these He also called;
whom HE CALLED, these He also
justified; and whom He justified, these
He also glorified.
Last week we looked at
“Our Calling”
1. A Heavenly Calling
2. A High Calling
3. A Holy Calling
4. A Humble Calling
5. A Hopeful Calling
This week we are going to look at
“We Are Called”
1. We Are Called Into Fellowship with His Son
2. We Are Called in All Stations of Life
3. We Are Called in the Grace of Christ
4. We Are Called to Liberty
5. We Are Called in One Body
6. We Are Called into God’s Kingdom
7. We Are Called Out of Darkness into Light
8. We Are Called to Do Good in Spite of

9. We Are Called to Bless
10.We Are Called to Know Him
I.WE ARE CALLED INTO
FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS SON
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by
whom you were CALLED INTO THE
FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON, Jesus Christ
our Lord.
II. WE ARE CALLED IN ALL
STATIONS OF LIFE
1 Corinthians 7:17-24 But as God has distributed to each
one, as THE LORD HAS CALLED each one, so let him
walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. (18) Was anyone
CALLED WHILE CIRCUMCISED? Let him not become
uncircumcised. Was anyone CALLED WHILE
UNCIRCUMCISED? Let him not be circumcised. (19)
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing,
but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
(20) Let each one remain in the same CALLING IN WHICH
HE WAS CALLED. (21) Were you CALLED WHILE A
SLAVE? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be
made free, rather use it. (22) For he who is CALLED IN
THE LORD WHILE A SLAVE is the Lord's freedman.
Likewise he who is called while free is Christ's slave. (23)
You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
(24) Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state
in which HE WAS CALLED.
III. WE ARE CALLED IN THE
GRACE OF CHRIST
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are
turning away so soon from Him who
CALLED YOU IN THE GRACE OF CHRIST,
to a different gospel,
IV. WE ARE CALLED TO
LIBERTY
Galatians 5:13 For you, brethren, have
been CALLED TO LIBERTY; only do not
use liberty as an opportunity for the
flesh, but through love serve one
another.
V. WE ARE CALLED IN ONE BODY
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God
rule in your hearts, to which also you
were CALLED IN ONE BODY; and be
thankful.
VI. WE ARE CALLED INTO
GOD’S KINGDOM
1 Thessalonians 2:12 that you would walk
worthy of God who CALLS YOU INTO HIS
OWN KINGDOM and glory.
VII. WE ARE CALLED OUT OF
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, His own special people, that you
may proclaim the praises of Him who
CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO
HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT;
VIII. WE ARE CALLED TO DO
GOOD IN SPITE OF SUFFERING
1 Peter 2:20-21 For what credit is it if,
when you are beaten for your faults, you
take it patiently? But when you DO
GOOD AND SUFFER, if you take it
patiently, this is commendable before
God. (21) For to this YOU WERE
CALLED, because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an example, that you
should follow His steps:
IX. WE ARE CALLED TO BLESS
1 Peter 3:8-9 Finally, all of you be of one
mind, having compassion for one
another; love as brothers, be
tenderhearted, be courteous; (9) not
returning evil for evil or reviling for
reviling, but on the contrary BLESSING,
knowing that you were CALLED TO this,
that you may inherit a blessing.
X. WE ARE CALLED TO KNOW HIM
2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given
to us all things that pertain to life and
godliness, through the knowledge of Him
who CALLED US by glory and virtue,
HAVE YOU ANSWERED YOUR CALL?
A. 2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even
more diligent to MAKE YOUR CALL AND
ELECTION SURE, for if you do these things
you will never stumble;
B. 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 Therefore we also
pray always for you that our God would count
you WORTHY OF THIS CALLING, and fulfill all
the good pleasure of His goodness and the
work of faith with power, (12) that the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you,
and you in Him, according to the grace of our
God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
C. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 He who CALLS YOU is
faithful, who also will do it.
