Called to Salvation
Since the fall of Adam and Eve, sin has created a separation between God and man. But God reaches out to us to reinstate our relationship with Him by offering Christ on the cross in our stead. That is salvation through Jesus Christ.
Called to Sanctification
Once saved through Christ, God calls us to holiness. That is those of us who are willing to accept Christ righteousness and obedience. We are then set apart to become His special helpers. Our collaboration is necessary in order for us to grow into Christlikeness, even though this is strictly an act of God.
Called to Service
Once sanctified, we are chosen to witness to the world in whatever capacity God has placed us.
God might be calling you. Are you listening?
I agree with everything you said. However many new believers are not being discipled in how to live a holy and righteous life. Some think pointing their finger at others faults or shortcomings is the way. Others accept Jesus but never allow Him to came changes in their lives. Some lose heart when Satan brings condemnation into their lives causing them to pull back. Believers need to encourage one another, help one another and step out in faith allowing Jesus to guide them. http://fleetothemountains.com/
