HAS YAHUWEH CALLED YOU?
Has Yahuweh chosen and called you in YahuwehShua Messiah to reign with Him in His kingdom? Do the following passages speak of you?
1.) The poor are chosen by Yahuweh to reign:
Jas 2:1 My brothers, do not hold the belief of our Master YahuwehShua Messiah, the Master of esteem, with partiality.
Jas 2:2 For if there should come into your meeting a man with gold rings, in a splendid robe, and there should also come in a poor one dressed in rags,
Jas 2:3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the splendid robe and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor one, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here by my feet,”
Jas 2:4 have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with wicked thoughts?
Jas 2:5 Listen, my beloved brothers: Has Elohim not chosen the poor of this world, rich in belief and heirs of the reign which He promised to those who love Him?
2.) The low-born and the despised are chosen:
1Co 1:22 And since Yehudim ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
1Co 1:23 yet we proclaim Messiah impaled, to the Yehuḏim a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness,
1Co 1:24 but to those who are called – both Yehudim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.
1Co 1:25 For the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26 For look at your calling, brothers, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.
1Co 1:27 But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong.
1Co 1:28 And Elohim has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are,
1Co 1:29 so that no flesh should boast in His presence.
3.) Those that are called to reign with Messiah hear Messiah's words and obey His commands.
Joh 10:2 “But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 “The doorkeeper opens for him, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Joh 10:4 “And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
Joh 10:5 “And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
Joh 8:47 “He who is of Elohim hears the Words of Elohim, therefore you do not hear because you are not of Elohim.”
Heb 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the Causer of everlasting deliverance to all those obeying Him
Joh 14:23 Yahshua answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.
1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.
1Jn 2:4 The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
4.) The chosen and called ones are persecuted, afflicted, and suffer for the sake of Messiah and the coming Reign of Elohim, and are counted worthy of the Kingdom.
2Th 1:4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the assemblies of Elohim for your endurance and belief in all your persecutions and afflictions which you are bearing,
2Th 1:5 clear evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim, in order for you to be counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer,
2Th 1:6 since Elohim shall rightly repay with affliction those who afflict you,
2Th 1:7 and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Master YahuwehShua is revealed from heaven with His mighty messengers,
2Th 1:8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know Elohim, and on those who do not obey the Good News of our Master YahuwehShua Messiah,
2Th 1:9 who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Master and from the esteem of His strength,
2Th 1:10 when He comes to be esteemed in His set-apart ones and to be admired among all those who believe in that Day, because our witness to you was believed.
2Th 1:11 To this end we always pray for you that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and complete all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of belief with power,
2Rev 2:10 “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. See, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, in order to try you, and you shall have pressure ten days. Be trustworthy until death, and I shall give you the crown of life.
1Pe 5:10 And the Elohim of all favour, who called you to His everlasting esteem by Messiah YahuwehShua, after you have suffered a while, Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
1Pe 4:12 Beloved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that is coming upon you, to try you, as though some unusual matter has befallen you,
1Pe 4:13 but as you share Messiah’s sufferings, rejoice, in order that you might rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His esteem.
1Pe 2:20 For what credit is there in enduring a beating when you sin? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure, this finds favour with Elohim.
1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps
Act 5:41 Then indeed they went rejoicing from the presence of the council, because they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His Name.
Heb 13:12 And so Yahshua also suffered outside the gate, to set apart the people with His own blood.
Heb 13:13 Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Heb 13:14 For we have no lasting city here, but we seek the one coming.
Php 1:29 Because to you it has been given as a favour, on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake
Rom 8:17 and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together
2Ti 2:11 Trustworthy is the word: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
2Ti 2:12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also shall deny us.
5.) The called-ones that inherit the esteem of the Kingdom of Yahuweh are delclared right by Yahuweh.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all matters work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Rom 8:29 Because those whom He knew beforehand, He also ordained beforehand to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, for Him to be the first-born among many brothers.
Rom 8:30 And whom He ordained beforehand, these He also called, and whom He called, these He also declared right. And whom He declared right, these He also esteemed.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were set apart, but you were declared right in the Name of the Master YahuwehShua and by the Spirit of our Elohim.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been declared right by belief, we have peace with Elohim through our Master YahuwehShua Messiah,
Rom 5:2 through whom also we have access by belief into this favour in which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim.
Rom 3:24 being declared right, without paying, by His favour through the redemption which is in Messiah YahuwehShua,
Rom 2:13 For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the law shall be declared right.
Luk 18:9 And He also spoke this parable to some who relied on themselves that they were righteous, and looking down on others:
Luk 18:10 “Two men went up to the Set-apart Place to pray – the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Luk 18:11 “The Pharisee stood and began to pray with himself this way, ‘Elohim, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men, swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
Luk 18:12 ‘I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I possess.’
Luk 18:13 “But the tax collector standing at a distance would not even raise his eyes to the heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘Elohim, show favour unto me, a sinner!’
Luk 18:14 “I say to you, this man went down to his house declared right, rather than the other. For everyone who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.”
Mat 12:37 “For by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous.”
Jas 2:24 You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone.
Tit 3:7 that having been declared right by His favour we should become heirs according to the expectation of age-abiding life.
Favor and peace to all,
Chandler
P.S. Perhaps I posted this in the wrong place, but it seemed to fit since it is about the future reign of Messiah.
