Living a Life Worthy of Your Calling
Pastor Jose Peña
September 23, 2024
As believers, one of the most significant aspects of our faith is understanding and living out the calling that God has placed on our lives. Just as our names identify and stay with us wherever we go, our calling from God is deeply tied to our identity in Christ. It is constant, unchanging, and follows us through every season of life—whether single or married, at work or home.
Ephesians 4:1 says, "I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." This high calling is not merely a title but a lifestyle that reflects the weight and purpose of God's grace in our lives. It is a call not just to salvation but to a holy and purposeful life. As Paul emphasizes, we are urged to live in a way that balances our identity in Christ with how we conduct ourselves daily.

Living out our calling means more than just knowing the gospel; it requires us to live in a way that reflects Christ. James 1:22 reminds us, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." Our actions should mirror the faith we proclaim, shining as a testimony to the world around us.
However, walking in this calling requires sacrifice. Luke 9:23 tells us, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Obedience to God often means making difficult choices, but through these sacrifices, we honor Him and fulfill His purpose.
In the end, wherever life takes us—whether in moments of triumph or trial—we are called to glorify God in all that we do. Embrace your calling fully, living in a way that honors Him wherever He leads.
