You See Your Calling - But Why You? - Paul S Royer - September 1974

Paul S Royer

THE chances are, if you are reading this magazine, you have been called and are now a part of the greatest Work on earth. But do you realize what this calling entails? It involves a far greater responsibility than any other you may have on the job, at home, or in your personal life. A future position in the Kingdom of God far surpasses any earthly job. It is an assigned responsibility in the greatest organization or government in the universe - not just the world. A position in the Kingdom of God is intrinsically greater than any office held by a ruler, president or governor on earth. After all, the specific job we speak of is that of being God! Jesus said: "... Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he" (Matt. 11:11). You are called to be among the firstfruits with Christ (James 1:18) - called to aid in setting up the government of God here on earth (see Rev. 2:26, 27; 3:21; 5:10; 20:4, 6). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
