I've got this book of Bible lists, and from time to time I'll crack it open and read of the many recurrent themes that fill the pages of God-breathed Scripture.  It never ceases to amaze me that our God saw fit to craft not merely a manual for Christian life, but also the most beautiful book ever written. 

From start to finish the Bible is brimming with foreshadowing, providence, poetry, love, beauty, balance, and jaw-dropping moments of awe.  Today as I flipped through the many common elements found in Scripture, the heading of "Christian Life" caught my eye and led me down the most exciting of all rabbit holes--the kind that takes you on a journey through Biblical truths!

"Seven Divine Calls to the Christian from God" was the first tantalizing subheading, and as I read each divine call aloud, I was blown away by the fact that the beauty in God's Word was evident even in list form. 

The call to salvation
The call to sanctification
The call to service
The call to separation
The call to son-ship
The call to subjection
The call to suffering

Just thinking about following each call into its passages of verse has me eager for the lessons God would soon reveal. 

We'll be exploring each topic in depth over the coming weeks and I hope you'll join me for each adventure in learning from God's perfect Word!
