What reason do we have for security? WE HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO GOD’S SOVEREIGN PURPOSE. The word sovereign means “the decree of a king, a ruler against whom there is no rising up.” God has a purpose that is seen in that God called you. The word called here does not mean call like, I call Paul, and I say, “Hi Paul, come over here.” No, the word called means “an official summons.” You see, your salvation did not begin with you. It began with God. If it began with you, you might lose it, but since it began with God, you can never lose it. The Bible says God is able to finish what He began, and He called you. Had he not called us, none of us would have been here. We must remember that we love him because He first loved us. How does it encourage you to remember that God has called you? How does that give you the confidence to pursue the will of God each day? Make a list of things you know God has called you to do. Pick one of these to do right now.
