The main end of our lives is to serve God in the serving of men in the works of our callings…Some man will say perchance: What, must we not labor in our callings to maintain our families?

Conclusion
Specific call
General call
The only real farmer is a Christian farmer; the only real doctor is a Christian doctor; the only real man is a Christian man; and the only real woman is a Christian woman; and so on covering every detail and aspect and station in life. Apart from Christ we are not what we ought to be. (Barkley, Presbyterianism, p. 18)
