I have good news for you today. I can tell you exactly what your calling in life is. In fact, I can tell you what both your callings are! "What? I have two callings?" Yes. According to scriptures, you have two specific things that every Christian is to be doing.
1. I Corinthians 1:9 declares, God is faithful, by whom you were called unto fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Your first and foremost calling while on this earth is fellowship with Jesus, the Son of God. He longs for a personal relationship with you. He is so intent on being with you, He died on a cross, paying the price for every sin of all mankind. He paid your debt for sin, infusing righteousness into your eternal soul, that anyone who accepts this free gift will live with Him throughout eternity.
We develop this relationship by studying His Holy Word, the Bible, and through prayer. Just as in any other relationship, the more time you spend with Him the better you get to know Him. Seek Him and you will find Him, Draw close to Him and He will draw closer to you.
2. The second calling God has placed on your life is found in Mark 16:15, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Everyone is called to be an evangelist. This is not to say we are all called to leave our homes and family to travel around the world sharing the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He didn't say we are all to be missionaries in foreign countries. Jesus said, "go" to our neighbor, "go" to the people we work with, "go" to those we attend school with.
Each one of us have a group of people whom we have influence over. You don't know the people whom I know and I don't know those whom you know. Acts 1:8 tells us, we will receive power when the Holy Spirit is imparted into our eternal soul. This is power is to become witnesses in our homes, our neighborhoods, in our city, our state, and beyond, as the Lord leads.
While fulfilling these two commissions, Father God will lead and guide you into any other areas as He wills. Spend time building an intimate relationship, deep fellowship, so that you can fulfill the great commission of sharing the Good News of the Gospel with others. Then watch as He opens doors for you to share your faith with those you come in contact with.
Whatever you choose in life, do it all as unto the Lord. If you're a plummer, do your best and share the Gospel with your clients and fellow workers. If you're an instructor, teach your students what it means to be full of faith, love, joy, and God's peace.
What's your calling in life? Fellowship with God's Son and sharing your faith with others. Everything else in your life is built on these truths. Now go and fulfill your calling!
