Calling and Election

Calling is ironically God’s Call on someone for the sole purpose of the establishment and the expansion of God’s kingdom .The Bible says in Mark 12:15 “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation”, So it is the mandate of every believer to spread the Gospel. Hence, every one has a Calling from God.

The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:10” be all the more eager to make your Calling and Election sure”. Apart from Calling there is an Election that one must be identified with .The Calling and Election are different, an Election can be the some sort of a sub division for a Calling. Knowing one’s Calling and Election is very important in identifying how we could be used in the work of the Kingdom by God. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:11,12 ”It was He who gave

1. some to be apostles,
2. some to be Prophets,
3. some to be Evangelists,
4. some to be Pastors
5. and some to be teachers,

to prepare God’s people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up”. For example Apostle can be the Calling and missionary can be the Election.
