The Call to Ministry

by Alistair Begg

Ephesians 3:7–13
 (ID: 3725)

To be a minister of the Gospel is a solemn privilege—one that can only be bestowed by God to His servants. Speaking to a group of university students, Alistair Begg explains that a minister’s identity must be rooted in the fact that God, not education, is what makes a man a minister. When God’s servant recognizes this, it should lead him to humility and dependence on God’s grace, power, and love as he embraces his responsibility to make Jesus known.
