Is God calling you worthy?

We are not worthy in ourselves but when we are covered by the shed blood of Jesus Christ we become worthy and then have work to do!

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I want you to see a few things here:

1. Fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness-God is good! He desires for us to be good which brings pleasure to God and us. Are you being good?

2. The work of the faith with power-What is the work of the faith? Love God, Love others, meet the needs of others, and share the gospel. God has given us the Holy Spirit which supplies the power, we are without excuse! Do the work!

3. That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you-what is our purpose in this life God has blessed us with? To glorify Jesus!!! He is the number 1 priority!

4. You in Him-we are also glorified just by the goodness of our God! Praise the Lord!

5. According to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ-all this is only because of the grace that God gives to His children, those who have called upon Jesus as Lord and Savior! We are a blessed people!

So let me ask again...Is God calling you worthy?
