Do You See Your Calling?

Romans 1:1 (Amplified)
FROM PAUL, a bond servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) called to be an apostle, (a special messenger) set apart to [preach] the Gospel (good news) of and from God,

As Christ followers one of our characteristics should be to pursue a holy walk, but our main goal should be to proclaim the good news of the gospel. The whole main reality of life should be all about the redemption story, not heaven, hell, good, or bad, but what redemption is all about. As Christians we must come to terms with this and realize that our holy characteristics all stem from redemption, and if we place our faith in human standards then we will fall apart when the tests of life come our way. If we keep our eyes on ourselves or on worldly things it will only get in the way of the complete reality of redemption. We should not get caught up in ourselves, but let God separate us out and work on our hearts. We need to get our eyes off our characteristics, and set our eyes on spreading the good news to those who need to hear. We must come as Paul, and become totally abandoned, utterly surrendered, and living for one purpose--to spread the good news of the gospel.
