Re: Do You Know Why You Were Called?

If we seek JESUS, and not the fringe benefits and blessings that go along with having fellowship with Jesus, we would have people more grounded, faithful, and walking right.

When the focus shifts from Jesus, to seeking out blessings, fellowship, and the other fringe benefits.... no doubt the seed that was planted in that life will fall by the wayside, according to the parable of the sower and the seed that Jesus gave us in Matt. 13.

Matt. 13:8 "But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold."

Jesus said the good ground would be this:

Matt. 13:23 "But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty."
