Message: Holy Calling By Robert Murray M'Cheyne

"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began" (2 Timothy 1:9).
THERE ARE TWO WAYS in which men are called to believe the gospel. There is an outward and an inward calling, an earthly and a heavenly calling. All believers are "partakers of the heavenly calling" (Hebrews 3:1).

The outward call comes to all who hear the gospel sound: "Many are called, but few chosen." Every time the church bell rings it is a call. It says, "Come away sinner, thy sabbaths are numbered. 

Eternity is at hand. God's people are hastening to the house of God, God's stewards are dealing out the bread of life. Sinner do not stay behind; Jesus is ringing for thee, inviting thee, wooing thee. If thou wouldst but listen, it would sound as joyfully as a marriage bell." Ah! there are multitudes in Scotland who hear no more of the gospel than the bell, and that will be enough to condemn them in the great day.
