"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, & of Christ Jesus, Who is our hope"--1 Timothy 1:1. Paul had no doubt as to his call. He believed that it came to him directly from God. It had been voiced by Anaias in the hour of his conversion; it had been confirmed by the church at Antioch when he was ordained to his life work; and now, on his last missionary journey as he writes to Timothy. He declares himself to be "an apostle of Christ Jesus" in obedience to "the commandment of God." Do you have doubts about your call from Christ? Who sent you out to do this great work of spreading the Gospel? We are commanded to: "And He said to them, “ Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation:--Mark 16:15. Have you been obedient to this command? "Samuel said, “ Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams"--1 Samuel 15:22. When will you obey?
