NASB | Matthew 22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 22:14 "For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen." |
Bible Question: "For many are called, but few are chosen." What is chosenness, irrespective of racial orgins? |
Bible Answer: Edd, The difference here is one of the heart. Whereas God "calls" everyone to himself, the people must also respond to and live in the proper way, which makes them "chosen." 1 Pet.2:9 sets forth this same principle: the people were called out of darkness by God, and now that they have responded they are chosen people. Col. 3:12-14 illustrates the principle of "chosenness" further, as Paul describes the may in which a chosen one lives in relation to others. God Bless! ischus |
