1 | "Many are called, but few are chosen." | Matt 22:1 | Larry55 | 193372 | ||
Thank God. In may many episodes of depression, I took that to mean that God called me to be His son but would not choose me in the end because I am not good enough to get into heaven. Thanks for clearing that up. I feel relieved now. | ||||||

Well, in the first place, no one is chosen because they are "good enough" to be in heaven (cf Rom 3:10). However, no one is chosen by some inscrutable, arbitrary divine decree not taking into consideration the response of the one called. Also, there is no person whom God has not chosen by that same inscrutable, arbitrary divine decree without considering their response to the call. To put it simply, if one is chosen, it is not because they are "good enough" but because they believe in Jesus Christ. |
