The Called — Who Are the Called?
Remember, anything worth anything comes from above.
Anything - worth anything - eternally comes FROM Him, can't be received or done except THROUGH Him and should be faithfully, intentionally and purposely accomplished FOR Him. (Romans 11:36)
"For OF Him, and THROUGH Him, and TO Him, are ALL things: TO whom be glory for ever. Amen. I beseech you THEREFORE, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 11:36-12:2)
And anything that doesn't come FROM Him, not received or done THROUGH Him and not faithfully, intentionally and purposely accomplished FOR Him, ain't – eternally – worth anything. (Romans 11:36)
Glory... and anything worth living is worth teaching... and if it ain't worth teaching, it ain't worth living.
