“In short, she is a person with a calling. She has been elected to be a follower of Jesus which means she has been elected to serve the kingdom of God. A Christian’s main vocation is to become a prime citizen of the kingdom of God — and this is true of every Christian, of artists and engineers as well as ministers and evangelists.
