A Holy Calling !
A Holy Calling !
2 Tim 1:9
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
This Holy calling is issued out only to Holy People, made so by the presence of the Holy Spirit in them. The Thrice Holy God does not issue a Holy Calling to an unholy people. This Holy call goes out to all those #1. Who were made Holy Legally by the Death of Christ or the Blood of Christ, and #2 they have been made Holy by the Spirit of God. The Spirit must first set them apart unto the Call 2 Thess 2:13-14
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel[word of Truth], to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And before all, they were made Holy by the Election of the Father. An Holy Call cannot and will not go out to the unregenerate or those who are merely in the flesh Rom 8:7-8
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
