Bible Question:
My question is, in the bible it says "many are called but only few are chosen" This implies that we do not have free will, but instead God chooses only few of us to be close to him. I am confused by this passage, please help! |

Bible Answer: Dear St., Read from Matthew 20:1-16 and Matthew 22:1-14. If you read the parable just before this statement I believe it gives us the clue. In each parable we see the gratefulness and respect, or lack thereof, of the persons who are approached. I believe the Lord choses those for ministry who have a right heart with Him. Many may be called, but not everyone responds with a heart of gratitude and true repentance and respect for and obedience to His Word; everyone is not necessarily faithful and steadfast. This is what I believe it means...not that the others are not saved, but He calls many to service, but depending on the behavior of the called, only a few are chosen. You may or may not agree, but this is what I believe it means. I hope this is helpful to you. -Itiswritten |
