Clarity about your calling and identity

Today we are going to study Romans 1:1. Let's read it. 

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God

Identity places an important role in how we place ourselves in the world and with whom we associate ourselves.

We all construct different identity hierarchies so we can be on the top of that hierarchy. 

Here Paul identifies himself as a servant of Jesus Christ. 

In the second part of this verse, Paul talks about his calling.

He is clear about his calling as much as his identity. He is an apostle for the Gospel. He considers the news about Jesus a good news and he considers himself as a messenger of that good news. 

If we have to be a witness in our societies and marketplaces, we need to get clear about our identity and calling. 

Go and tell about Jesus. The world is waiting to hear from you.
