AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 22:14 "For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen." |
Bible Question: my question was what's the differance in a person that is chosen and in people that are called. coming from 2 chronicles 7;14 |
Bible Answer: Being called is sort of like being asked to do something because a body is needed; being chosen is like being a number one draft pick. In 2 Chronicles, God is saying those who call on Him are called by Him; in Matthew 22:14, Jesus is saying that of all who are called, not all are chosen. |
