Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 1:5-6

"through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name`s sake; among whom are ye also called [to be] Jesus Christ`s:" — Romans 1:5-6 (ASV)

That is a sweet name for every truly converted man. Called of Jesus Christ. He has called you personally, he has called you effectually, he has called you out of the world, he has called you into fellowship with himself: the called of Jesus Christ. The revised version has it: call to be Jesus Christ's. Those who are called by Christ, are called to be his.
