For those of you who care to know such things, you might as well hear it straight from horse's mouth. I am not a Calvinist. I'm also not not a Calvinist. The mystery of the Divine Sovereignty as He interacts with we His creatures was not figured out once and for all--either by Calvin or Arminius--in the 1500s.
For those of you who couldn't care less...
The search is over. I will now reveal to you your destiny; your calling in life; that which you were made to be and accomplish:
Romans 1:5-6 NIV Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Whoever you are, know this: you are being called by God. Called to name Christ as Lord and Savior. Called to belong in an eternal relationship with the one who made you. Called to spend your life in community with others who accept and submit to that calling, and charged with the task of calling others to give themselves wholly to this self-same calling in Christ Jesus.
Any pursuit you choose that does not have this calling at its core will result in a you who is less than you were meant to be.
Accept or reject it, but this is that for which you have been made and given life.
That is all.
Father, thank you for calling us to a life of security and significance in Christ. Thank you, Sovereign that even in the messiness of my will you can bring all things around to your Purpose when I live a life that by your grace answers your call. In Jesus. Amen.
