Thoughts on Vocation (Part 1)

Faith and Vocation Are Only Temporary:

Faith
". . .faith looks to things which are invisible and unknowable; but they are invisible and unknowable 'not because they are basically unknowable, but because they are not yet visible, not yet knowable. Faith directs itself to that which is to come --Faith is the proper way to wait.' It is on earth that man believes in the kingdom of heaven, for it has not yet come with power. But in the resurrection world faith no longer exists. There one sees in which he has believed. Wingren, Gustaf, Luther on Vocation, 23 (1957).

Vocation
"In heaven man has neither wife nor children, for all offices leave off, and human beings are all alike, since the rule of law is put away. The realm of vocation is temporary. It is only in the present, short life that we are concerned with the endowments and responsibilities of office." Id. at 19.
