*DAILY DEW 29/APRIL/2023* *CALLED, PRESERVED & SANCTIFIED* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are SANCTIFIED by God the Father, and PRESERVED in Jesus Christ, and CALLED"* (Jude 1:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The call of Jesus upon us is one that makes us become the sons of God. Once we are saved, we move from being merely children of our earthly parents, to being children of the Almighty God. *Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.* *Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.* *And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.* (1 John 3:1-3 (KJV)) No one called by Jesus, answers and continues to live like every other person who is not saved. The children of the Almighty must of necessity live like their heavenly Father. By virtue of this call, we become partakers of God's nature-- a nature of godliness, glory and virtue. We are no longer ordinary. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. (2 Peter 1:3 (KJV)) Dear friends, once you receive Jesus, God's call is upon your life. You are no longer ordinary. Your nature is not merely that of human. You become infused and invested with the divine attributes of God. You become a replica of Jesus on earth. _MEDITATION:_ *But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear* (1 Peter 1:15-17 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
