We are called for specific purposes to do the will of God in our lives.

1. WE ARE CALLED

2. 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.

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.

generation, a royal priesthood, a holy

HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT;

12. 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
