b. What should we be calling people to?
Answer: We should be calling people to the obedience that comes from faith--calling people to belong to Jesus Christ, (verses 5 and 6).
Acts 9:15: "But the Lord said to Ananias, 'Go! This man is My chosen instrument to carry My Name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.'"
Acts 6:7: "So the Word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."
Romans 16:25-27: "Now to Him Who is able to establish you by my Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey Him--to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen."
