This study examines the theological meaning of the prophetic calling in Jeremiah 1:4–10 and its implications for the responsibility of ministry in the contemporary church. Using a qualitative approach through exegetical and theological analysis, this research explores the relationship between divine initiative and human response in the calling of Jeremiah. The findings reveal that prophetic calling originates entirely from God’s sovereignty, established even before human existence, and is not based on human ability or readiness. Human responses, often marked by fear and limitations, are understood as part of the spiritual formation process that leads to dependence on God. Furthermore, God not only calls but also affirms, accompanies, and equips His servants, particularly through the granting of His word as the ultimate source of authority in ministry. The study also highlights that the prophetic mandate encompasses both judgment and restoration, reflecting the balance between God’s justice and love. In relevance to the contemporary church, this pattern of calling provides a theological framework for authentic ministry that is rooted in divine calling, centered on God’s word, and carried out with moral and spiritual responsibility. This research contributes to bridging the gap between biblical texts and modern ecclesial practice, offering a transformative understanding of ministry that resists pragmatic and self-centered tendencies.
