All Because of Jesus
I Am Called

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV

Called By My:

I.

1 Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was
eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He
requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus,
asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way
he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—
back to Jerusalem in chains. Acts 9:1-2

But he said, “Why all this weeping? You are breaking my heart! I am
ready not only to be jailed at Jerusalem but even to die for the sake
of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 21:13

8 “‘Who are you, lord?’ I asked. “And the voice replied, ‘I am Jesus
the Nazarene, the one you are persecuting.’ 10 “I asked, ‘What
should I do, Lord?’ “And the Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into
Damascus, and there you will be told everything you are to do.’
14 “Then he told me, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to
know his will and to see the Righteous One and hear him speak.
15 For you are to be his witness, telling everyone what you have
seen and heard. 16 What are you waiting for? Get up and be
baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of
the Lord.” Acts 22:8, 10, 14-17

19 “‘But Lord,’ I argued, ‘they certainly know that in every
synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you. 20
And I was in complete agreement when your witness Stephen was
killed. I stood by and kept the coats they took off when they stoned
him.’ 21 “But the Lord said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away
to the Gentiles!’” Acts 22:19-21
