FAQs

How do you respond to Jesus calling? ›

In order to respond to His call, we practice regular prayer and receiving the sacraments. In response, we seek chances to share Christ with people through our bold yet polite words and by setting a constant example of humility, faith, and unselfish care for others.

Lord our God, remember us even though we are only a few. Protect us from all evil, from all inner harm, which threatens us every day. Let your hand be over us so that at last a great power may stream out from your church into all the world, bringing the fulfillment of your promises.

His righteousness is ours if we believe and trust in Him (Romans 3:23,10:9–10). We are called to continuous repentance, to keep turning away from our sin and the false promises of this world, and to turn back to God with all our heart (Joel 2:12).

You may experience a wave of new ideas. You may feel changes happening inside you. These are all signs God is taking you to the next level. You are being prepared from the inside out to rise up and do the thing that God is calling you to do.

We cannot hope to appease God by working our way into righteousness, nor sacrificing others for our own sin. Instead, Micah listed out the three principles of what God asks of His people: to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with Him.

God calls you to become the person He created you to be, and to do the things He designed you to do. He will partner with you as you prayerfully move forward. This process is a spiritual journey in which you will learn new things about yourself and about your relationship with the Lord! 1.

In the biblical Gospels we see Jesus calling those who will be his disciples. They respond by following him, literally. Today, we also respond to the call of Jesus. We are disciples in response to his initiative. Jesus calls us into relationship with himself and into a life of service.

How do you say yes to God's call? ›

Saying YES to God means:

You trust what he said is true — his plan is the only way to have real life, both here on earth and forever. You choose to live your life continuing to say YES to him.

It means responding in repentant faith by recognizing that Christ is the only way to be saved from the penalty of your sin, which is death. It means believing that when Christ rose from the dead, He conquered sin and death and offers eternal life. If you have never responded to the Gospel, you can today.
