God calls people “into the fellowship of his Son” (1 Corinthians 1:9). We are called “saints” (Romans 1:7). We can now live in peace (1 Corinthians 7:15), freedom (Galatians 5:13), holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7), and patiently wait with endurance (1 Peter 2:20-21).
God's call to life brings you into eternal life, freedom and glory. In 1 Peter 3:15-16 scripture tells us the following, But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
What Does God Say about Me in His Word? God says that I am unique, wonderfully made, and there's no one else exactly like me. and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
“Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.
God calls you to become the person He created you to be, and to do the things He designed you to do. He will partner with you as you prayerfully move forward. This process is a spiritual journey in which you will learn new things about yourself and about your relationship with the Lord!
When we trust Christ as our Savior and Lord, He calls us by name (Jn. 10:3).
We Are Precious and Honored in His Eyes. In Isaiah 43:4, it says, “Since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.” In God's eyes, we are precious and honored.
You're unconditionally loved.
God doesn't say, “I love you if” or “ I love you because.” He says, “I love you — period!” You can't make God stop loving you, because his love is not based on what you do but on who he is. Isaiah 54:10 says, “The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end” (GNT).
God's makes himself known as Lord through divine revelation, which is given to all people through creation and human nature and to specific people through events, inspired human words recorded as Scripture, and Jesus Christ himself.
This is a question that many people have heard of, but don't know what it means. The five-fold ministry is found in Ephesians 4:11, and it refers to the five roles that God has called Christians to fill. These roles are (1) apostles, (2) prophets, (3) evangelists, (4) pastors, and (5) teachers.
God's Guidance to Particular Work
Everyone is called to belong to Christ and to participate in his creative and redemptive work. Everyone is commanded to work to the degree they are able. God calls us to a whole life, not just to a job.
He smiles at you — and not because he sees someone smarter, taller, better looking, or holier standing just behind you. He looks each redeemed child in the eye and tells him of his love for him in his Son. This is who our God is towards us.
Fortunately, we have the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, which clarifies the four scriptures that say that man can't see God. The Prophet's inspired revisions of those verses explain that sinful people can't see God—only those who believe.
He Sees Your Tears
When we feel fear, sadness, or despair, our vocabulary of words just can't seem to communicate as well as weeping does. But, God sees your tears. He hears your cry. He is mindful of what scares you and stresses you and saddens you.
Finally, and simply, to hear God's voice, ask God to speak. Say, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” Contrary to what most people think, God wants to speak to us and God is speaking to us all the time. We are simply deaf to what God is saying or not paying attention.
It's been posited that God speaks to us through circumstances: blocked pathways, dreams, feelings, inspirations, music, nature, symbols, tender mercies, thoughts and visions. Some say he communicates through the community of believers, prayer, scriptures, sermons, wise counsel and His very creation.
In Exodus, God states His own name for the first time: “God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. ' And He said, 'Say this to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you'” (Exodus 3:14). The name of I AM is how God chose to introduce himself, becoming so sacred that in Judaism, the name is not to be spoken.
He is always speaking to you, but He speaks in “a still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12, NKJV). So to hear Him, you have to tune in and listen carefully. Another way to describe the way we hear God's voice is through an inward witness.
