How do we know that God calls us to ministry?

Answered in 1 source

According to the Bible, every believer is given a ministry by God, which is recognized through the gifts and responsibilities entrusted to them.

The Scriptures affirm that every believer receives a unique ministry from God, as stated in 1 Corinthians 12, which discusses the diversity of gifts given by the same Spirit. This divine call is inherent in the believer's identity and is to be seen as an integral part of who they are. God’s active role in this process is evident, as believers are called to stir up the gifts within them (2 Timothy 1:6) and to recognize that their ministry is a gracious provision from God (Romans 12:3-8). This assurance encourages believers to take their roles seriously, understanding that they are personally commissioned for service in the body of Christ.
