We are about to look at the request of the Lord Jesus wherein He calls those who are the willing to take up their cross and walk in love His friends. This found in part in John 15:14, which says this beginning at verse 12 through 17:
John 15:14 of 12-17 (Jesus is speaking here) "'This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; For the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; For all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father (being) in My name, They (Elohiym) may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another.'"
Our first word search begins with our being "called:" G2046: ereō er-eh'-o Probably a fuller form of G4483 [rheō hreh'-o For certain tenses of which a prolonged form (ἐρέω ereō) is used; and both as alternate for G2036; perhaps akin (or identical) with G4482 (through the idea of pouring forth); to utter, that is, speak or say: - command, make, say, speak (of).]; an alternate for G2036 in certain tenses; to utter, that is, speak or say: - call, say, speak (of), tell.
Now for the word search portion we shall begin with "chosen" G1586: eklegomai ek-leg'-om-ahee
Middle voice from G1537 [ek ex ek, ex A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause; literally or figuratively; direct or remote): - after, among, X are, at betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in, . . . ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.] and G3004 [legō leg'-o A primary verb; properly to “lay” forth, that is, (figuratively) relate (in words [usually of systematic or set discourse; whereas G2036 and G5346 generally refer to an individual expression or speech respectively; while G4483 is properly to break silence merely, and G2980 means an extended or random harangue]); by implication to mean: - ask, bid, boast, call, describe, give out, name, put forth, say (-ing, on), shew, speak, tell, utter. ] (in its primary sense); to select: - make choice, choose (out), chosen.
Next for a word search, for this I shall move into the passage further than the initialized portion, with the word "ordained:" G5087: tithēmi tith'-ay-mee A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): - + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.
What comprises our being called? How about the question of Matthew 11:29, for a stater, or to simple walk in Love towards all of humanity just as Jesus practiced and did. Or how about what Paul stated in Romans 2:12? For all that fall under the position of Abraham are without the Mosaic Law while those under this Law remain under condemnation having refused their own and Their Salvation. The taking out from under the curse of the Law by way of repentance. And this not only the changing of one mind but the acceptance of the yoke of Elohiym. For millions do not see Elohiym as being in Jesus: Romans 1:4, 16-17, 19, and on through to chapter 5.
