2.How
The main end of our lives is to serve God in the
serving of men in the works of our callings…Some man
will say perchance: What, must we not labor in our
callings to maintain our families? I answer: This
must be done, but this is not the scope and end of
our lives. The true end of our lives is to do
service to God in serving of men. (William Perkins)
C.Submitting and suffering and sin
Conclusion
Specific call
General call
The only real farmer is a Christian farmer; the only
real doctor is a Christian doctor; the only real man
is a Christian man; and the only real woman is a
Christian woman; and so on covering every detail and
aspect and station in life. Apart from Christ we are
not what we ought to be. (Barkley, Presbyterianism,
p. 18)
