How is One Called Out of Sin?
How is one called out of sin?
When one is called they are being invited by God to be added to His Church (His Kingdom) according to His purpose (Matthew 22:1-14; Luke 14:15-24; Romans 8:28-30). This invitation was stated by Jesus the Christ (Matthew 11:28-30), which was to be preached to everyone (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16), and not to just a select number of people. It was and is the Holy Spirit (The Helper) who invites all and guides everyone into all truth (John 16:5-15). It is the gospel which opens the eyes of the sinner to turn from darkness (unrighteousness) to the light (righteousness), from the power of Satan to God that one may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in God (Acts 26:17-18).
