Servant, Called and Separated

Romans 1:1 "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"

A servant, called and separated. Each Christian's call may look a little different in substance, however in form I believe they are all very similar. We are all servants of Christ. We must surrender our own will and surrender to His will. This is very clear.

The next step is our calling. Ephesians 4:11 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;" There are different gifts that God gives His followers in order to complete the body that is the Church.

And finally, separation. We cannot be of the world and of Christ. The world may surround us, yet we must separate ourselves. The word means to mark off the boundaries around something, to appoint, set apart for a purpose.

Would someone, knowing the intimate details of my life, call me a servant of God? Am I seeking to fulfill God's calling on my life? And am I separated from this world, setting my life apart for God's purposes?
