What Did Christ Mean - Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen? - Raymond F McNair - April 1982

Raymond F McNair

Let's face this question - it concerns our eternal future! Exactly what did Jesus mean when He told the disciples, "Many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt. 22:14)? What does it mean to be "called" or to receive a "call" from God? And what is the significance of being "chosen"? Is there any difference between being called and being chosen? Could you confidently and correctly explain Jesus' statement? Christianity today is confused! Most professing Christians, even some who are supposedly in God's true Church, have not realized that before anyone can become a bona fide member of God's Church - Christ's Body - that person must first be both specially called and chosen by God. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
