The Calling

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle [you]. To Him [be] the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:10-11

The greatness of God is communicated in the greatness of His calling. God called people, and by the nature of that calling, flawed and corrupted people were conformed to the likeness of His eternally unchanging glory! That is a POWERFUL call! This “calling” was not just a verbal proclamation. The verbal proclamation of God was made physically manifest through the life of Jesus. In other words, Jesus’ testimony shows the verbal calling that the Father made from His eternal dwelling. No matter the time and circumstances, the greatness of God is proved by the extent of people He calls to be perfected and established in Him.
