To This You Were Called

How does our Christian faith relate to people around us? How do you live in community with other people around you, to the glory of God? Our faith affects the lives of other people. Our calling as a Christian should be understood in relation to others. When we fulfill our role in life, it will sometimes lead us to suffering by the appointment of God. But the sufferings of Christ should be remembered in all of our sufferings. We follow in His steps when we suffer for things which are not our fault. This gives meaning and purpose to our sufferings when we consider that they are Godward, rather than man-ward. Do we suffer with the same attitude that Christ had when He suffered? Let's look at the themes of suffering, calling, and endurance.
