Obedient to the Call

1 Corinthians 7:17-19   
17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

God calls us out individually and gives the appropriate gifts and talents, and also calls us to walk out these with Him.  The example here was for Jew and Gentile, as to being called out in Christ as circumcised to be associated as one of God’s people or not circumcised as one of His.  The bottom line here is to be called as God’s to follow Him as we trust and obey Jesus Christ, God’s Son and our redeemer.  What makes us His people is His calling us to be His, not our own identification or decision.  So we live as called without trying to be Jewish or Gentile, but Christ’s.
