For you were called to freedom, brethren, only do
not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the
flesh, but through love serve one another.
(Galatians 513 NAS)

Divine Call

• Universal
• The heavens are telling of the glory of God and
  their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
  Day to day pours fourth speech, and night to
  night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor
  are there words. Their voice is not heard.
  Their line has gone out through all the earth.
  (Psalm 191-4 NAS)

4
Divine Call

• Universal
• Since the creation of the world His invisible
  attributes, His eternal power and divine nature,
  having been clearly seen, being understood
  through what has been made, so that they are
  without excuse. (Romans 120 NAS)

5
Divine Call

• Relationship
• They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in
  the garden in the cool of the day, and the man
  and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
  the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then
  the Lord God called to the man and said to him,
  Where are you? (Genesis 38, 9 NAS)

6

• He who has ears to hear, let him hear. But to
  what shall I compare this generation? It is like
  children sitting in the market places, who call
  out to the other children, and say, We played
  the flute for you and you did not dance, we sang
  a dirge, and you did not mourn. For John came
  neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
  has a demon! The Son of Man came eating and
  drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man
  and a drunkard, a friend of tax-gatherers and
  sinners!
• (Matthew 1115-19)

7

• For God has not called us for the purpose of
  impurity, but in sanctification.
• (I Thess 47 NAS)
