Matthew 22:14 For many are called but few are chosen
Many of God’s children are called to be obedient; called to live righteously, but few are actually chosen. In order to properly understand what Jesus meant, we must allow scripture to interpret scripture. We can do this by studying Paul’s teaching on the election of grace.
