YOU ARE BEING COMMISSIONED BY GOD

Romans 9:23-24 says:

“In order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He had before prepared unto glory, even us, whom He has also called.”

Notice here that the verse doesn’t refer to us as instruments or tools, but as vessels. So what is a vessel? A vessel is a hollow receptacle with an opening. Its purpose is to contain something. In fact, its sole reason for existing is to receive and be filled with some content. 

Isaiah 64:8 says: “But now, Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay; and You, our Potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand.” 

God is the divine Potter who specifically made human beings as vessels, not as tools or instruments to be used by Him. And as vessels, what are we supposed to contain? We were created to contain God Himself.
