Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call– one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The word one is repeated in this passage because Paul is reminding these new believers of an important truth. Since Ephesus was a place where many false gods were worshipped, Paul felt it was necessary to say that there was only one God and one true source of salvation.

1 Peter 3:9
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

There will be many opportunities in life to return evil for evil. To say the hurtful thing back, to hold a grudge, or to treat someone the same way they treated you. But Peter challenged believers not to continue that cycle. Instead, he called us to stop it with kindness and blessing.

2 Timothy 1:9
Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.

Before the world began, God was preparing you for a holy calling: to share the gospel with the world. And because Paul understood that calling well, he preached the gospel even when it brought suffering, hardship, and persecution. Then he encouraged believers to continue that work and to not be ashamed to suffer along with him for the cause of Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:14
To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is this referring to, you ask? The sanctifying work of the Spirit. In other words, God didn’t just call you to look different on the outside. He called you to be changed from the inside out. And He does that through the work of the Holy Spirit as you follow Christ, spend time in God’s Word, and learn to live in obedience to Him.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

If you belong to Christ and are walking with Him, you can trust that God is able to work even the hardest parts of your story for good. That doesn’t mean everything that happened to you was good, or that God delights in your pain. But it does mean that nothing that has been filtered through His hands is ever wasted.

Luke 4:43
…but he said to them, ‘I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.’

Jesus knew His purpose, and He didn’t shy away from fulfilling it. Even when it was difficult or uncomfortable, He stayed focused on what the Father had sent Him to do. And before He left, He passed that mission on to us. So as you live your life—working hard, raising a family, going to school, building a career don’t forget the greater purpose we’ve been given: to share the good news with the world around us.
