God has called us out of the darkness into His marvelous light to declare His praises. He has saved us and called us with a holy
calling by His grace. God is holy and He called us to be holy in everything we
do. But as He who called you is holy,
you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am
holy.” - 1 Peter 1:15,16. For God did not call us to be
impure, but to live a holy life - 1 Thessalonians 4:7.
We are
called by God to repay evil with blessing so that we can inherit a blessing. Do
not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil
with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a
blessing - 1 Peter 3:9. Joseph repaid his brother’s evil actions against him with
blessing and he inherited God’s blessings. Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,
says the Lord - Romans 12:19.
God is faithful, by whom you were
called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord - 1 Corinthians 1:8,9. Our God who called us is faithful and He will equip us and prepare us to live a
life worth of calling. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it -1 Thessalonians
5:24.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for calling us out of the darkness into Your marvelous light. Help us to live a life worthy of the calling by leading a holy
life and by repaying evil with blessings. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
