    When Jesus personally reaches down from heaven and grabs you out of hell, then chastens you, but then tells you that you didn’t choose Him, rather He chose you.....that’s when you will know the difference. It will be a profound meeting with Jesus. Many are called, but few are chosen. Hallelujah! I was chosen on June 7, 2018...I was changed instantly and I will only follow Jesus...not the world.

      I was an atheist in a middle of a suicide attempt when God filled me with the Holy Spirit. I wonder if that means I'm one of the chosen ones? The Holy Spirit stayed with me for 3 months. I don't deserve it, I'm having a hard time thinking God chose me for heaven because there are a lot of people more worthy than me

    People chosen is when there will be nothing stopping you to do the will of God for instance no matter what Joseph went through or who tried to stop him He still had victory Amen. Just like Jonah he was also called and chosen no matter how many times times He tried to run from Almighty God the Lord still made sure Jonah did His will! Chosen people of The Lord no matter what sistuation you are in the Lord is preparing a way out just to get His will accomplished in you. You're chosen and nothing can stop that anointing. For the called people ANSWER YOUR CALL! SAY "HERE AM I LORD SEND ME"! YES TELL THE LORD JESUS "IM ANSWERING MY CALL"! SPEAK BACK TO GOD THROUGH LORD JESUS CHRIST. SAY "LORD JESUS YES"! AND HE WILL DO THE REST! WE GOING TO MARRIAGE SUPPER GET READY! AS SOON AS YOU ANSWER YOUR CALL YOU BECOME CHOSEN.AMEN.

      The Pastor is correct. He could have explained it a little better.
      You cannot know the MEANING of a passage unless/until you know
      the CONTEXT. In Matthew, those who would not come represents the Jews. Therefore the Gospel "call" goes into the world (both Jew and Gentile)
      through the "call" of the Christian Gospel.
      --------------
      Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
      from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
      --------------
      Many are called (called by the Christian Gospel)
      but few are chosen (chosen or elected to be saved)
      ---------------
      Remember, in Matthew 13, the Lord explains that the
      (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" (the church) consists
      of both many unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) destined to eternal torment
      and relatively few saved "wheat" (sown by God) destined to eternal life.

I remember giving my soul to christ when i was 12. I have always needed their love. I have wanted to be like christ since i can remember.

    For anyone that has this question, the bible says many are called few are chosen. We know Jesus isn't willing that anyone should perish and died for the world so that all man can live holy lives pleasing to the Lord. So all are called to live a life for God but not all answer to this call. Those that answer and choose to believe in his son are chosen. Proving that they were God's chosen to begin with. He knew you would answer the call so he named you his own before you even realized you were. Hopefully this helps someone God bless you all❤

The Lord has been helping me. Reading the Bible which is the living word of God will help you transform your mind. And his wonderful Holy Spirit will lead and guide you in all paths of truth. You have to truly want it. Just have faith in the Lord he will never leave or forsake you. The first thing you need to do is accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

      I think what this parable means is that every one at some point in their life is called to become closer Jesus. Rather that be through hearing the Gospel, our own trials and tribulations, or a testimony from a fellow brother and sister in Christ or even a stranger. Everyone at some point is called to form a relationship with God and to become under grace. However, being chosen by God is an entirely different thing. When you're chosen you have an experience where God reveals himself to you and you're forever changed. Like to the point where you can't go back to your life of sin and the conviction to do good and to be apart of the kingdom of God is so strong in you there's no turning back.

      What if your wrong? We want to get it all for nothing and have people tickle our ears and tell us we're right on. But, if calling IS the gift/rebirth/justification then many people are in trouble because they will fall short of God's elect/chosen/sanctified/reward. I could quote many verses that tell us to build upon our calling (2 Pet 1.10, Titus 3.7), not to mention Romans 8.30 those whom He called, these He also justified. So called equals justified then chosen must mean more, like works/sanctified/elected/rewards.

      @@Abeliever000 a chosen one like Jonah suffered when refused to heed the instruction of God. You can see how God made life miserable for him until he surrendered. God could have used someone else since Jonah didn’t want to do it. But it was necessary he surrendered because he was chosen for it. That’s why he suffered the penalty for dodging God’s work. For calling, all of us are called unto repentance and into God’s kingdom. It’s optional. You take it or you leave it. But those that take it…Right from John the Baptist’s time, the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent takes it by force. Once you’re for Christ, there are sufferings that will come, but this time, it will be to strengthen your faith or to test you. And if it means dying for Christ like Stephen, we should. Knowing that a crown awaits us.

      @@Yahshuaismyeverything yeah that too! Like I explained to our bro/sis @aditi2411
      This world actually is full of suffering. We can’t deny that. But what are you suffering for? Is it for your sin or for Christ? I hope you don’t mind me sharing my little experience… I grew up as a lonely person because to a large extent, I think God did want it that way. Many people I made my friends just seemed wrong before God. God always separated me from them by warnings. He told me if I don’t listen to Him, He’ll make life miserable for me. This was God speaking to me through a man of God. A random one! I wasn’t born again ohh, mind you! I was just a church-choir girl. Without real knowledge of God yet, as at then. And actually, I never had peace until I heeded the warning from God. My parents, especially my father seemed to pick fault at every little thing I do. I always cried because of how bad I felt each time he scolded me, even when I tried to do things right. That’s God for you. He uses peace to communicate with us sometimes. Everything is not until you’re told. What is stealing your peace? Check! Be sure you’re not disobeying God. He can take away your peace through anyone and any means until you obey Him, before He restores it. I have many other instances in my life that God seized my peace for a while to communicate to me that I was doing the wrong thing which I can’t mention all. Are there not many people that disobey God and still have their life as they wish? They’re called. But for one that’s chosen, whether you like it or not, it’s you and God bumper to bumper, if you disobey. The misery He’ll send you won’t be little. That’s why He’s called a Terrible God. His signs are never nice. But it’s always still for our good. That’s suffering because you’re chosen
      But suffering as a Christian is entirely different. If you read the beatitudes in Matthew 5, you’ll see clearly that you’ll still suffer as a Christian. But this time around, it’s not because you’re being disobedient, but because you’re now living a life for, with and in Christ. Remember, the beatitudes were given by Jesus Himself. He knew what He was saying when He spoke about us being reviled, persecuted, hated and all manner things done against us for His sake. These things are inevitable. But we must glory in our sufferings for Christ in order to receive the Crown of Life (James 1:12 & Rev 2:10).
      Jesus wanted to find out what He did that made the people want to crucify Him. He told pilate that His Kingdom is not of this world, otherwise His angels will fight and the people won’t be against Him. He was basically letting Pilate know that the people are against Him, because He’s of God. And not of this world. That’s why they were against Him. He was taking the suffering for God in obedience, in order that God’s redemption plan would be done and also for Himself, to be coronated after His resurrection.
      So bro, the suffering for Christ doesn’t end till we leave this world. The most basic suffering is to be hated by people. And you already know Christians are hated by people of the world.
      I hope that edifies…🤗

    The called are those who chose the Lord after being called. The chosen are those foreknown, called and chosen from the foundation of the world. They are predestined to salvation and transformed into the image of his son.

      No, that is wrong - but nice try:
      --------------
      The Pastor is correct. He could have explained it a little better.
      You cannot know the MEANING of a passage unless/until you know
      the CONTEXT. In Matthew, those who would not come represents the Jews. Therefore the Gospel "call" goes into the world (both Jew and Gentile)
      through the "call" of the Christian Gospel.
      --------------
      Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
      from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
      --------------
      Many are called (called by the Christian Gospel)
      but few are chosen (chosen or elected to be saved)
      ---------------
      Remember, in Matthew 13, the Lord explains that the
      (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" (the church) consists
      of both many unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) destined to eternal torment
      and relatively few saved "wheat" (sown by God) destined to eternal life.

    The sufferings of Christ was Him knowing Truth while watching a world of blind men who could not see the light of Truth. He related to very few if any while on Earth. "The chosen" experience the same sufferings. To be called is the luxury of all men. To step into that calling leads to stepping into being chosen. The chosen are from the beginning with God. All are given a measure of Faith. Those who nurture and grow that Faith step into the role of the chosen who were with God from the beginning. All are given a measure of Faith it is by your choices that ye become the chosen. Its late in the game to become chosen it is a very hard process. The prodigal son experience can be lethal. But without it certain lessons do not develop. To learn the extent of God's grace & His Love requires the prodigal experience. But the prodigal son returns home and is grateful. He who sinneth much loveth much, where much is forgiven there is much gratitude. Love covers a multitude of sin. Faith, LOve, Hope are the greatest gifts. By now if you are chosen you will know it.

    Some people who are not believers have Jesus come to them and personally call them. They have a profound experience with Jesus. For example, someone close to me who was against church was meditating and Jesus came to him which he never expected. He was into the new age. He was told to destroy all of his metaphysical stuff and other evil stuff in his home. He was shown the crucifixion and felt Jesus pain emotionally and physically. He felt the pain his sin caused others and how it impacted their lives. He was shown things in the Bible that he never knew and then led to the scripture. This man had been praying for truth, knowledge and wisdom, but couldn’t define god. He was so thirsty. He had asked to be shown the secrets. Much of what he was shown isn’t for all. He prayed to be led to hhs right church and not referring to the building. After 3 months, he observed a church and saw angels all around it. He saw a dove above the pastor and other. He had been praying constantly for 13 years. He knew there was something higher. Over 25 years ago, he tried to find god and studied all the religions. His wife said she remembered when he said 25 or so years ago he was something missing. He knew something wasn’t right in this world. Soon after, this guy destroyed about 15k of metaphysical stuff. He destroyed his television, guns and other after what he was shown. He said he was told by Jesus to get rid of that nonsense (essentially) . He is trying his best to walk in the spirit. His intentions are pure and as all, he has his struggles. To this day, this guy is reading the word, praying and meditating on it. He is asking Jesus to show him the way. He ask to be led by him and what Jesus wants him to do. How to serve? He so feels a calling, but not for sure what it is yet. His Christian consciousness is taking off. It seems most are called to Jesus thru man but a few are personally called. Is there a difference between being called by man and being called by god? One must ask the tough questions he says. He was shown to pay attention to how much time he gives his time to god vs non sense stuff. How much of one’s time is watching t.v or surfing the web for entertainment. He said he was shown if one is watching t.v. more than dedicating his time to god, the t.v.. was an idol. Many will say this is nuts, but truth can be painful. If you bring up getting rid of the t.v. in the home, people freak out. They will come up with every reason in the book or even divorce before ridding that object. That device controls the masses truth, which is many times inverted from actual. That’s another topic. Do an experiment and talk to people about ridding-the t.v.. See if you can turn off the t.v. For 7 days or surfing the web, social media and so forth. Let me say he wasn’t saying all t.v.s need to go, but be very careful what you watch and use it wisely . This includes any activity. So much more, but just thought I would share. Thoughts on chosen by god or called by god versus called by man? We can say god call some thru man but not all. So we are told it’s a narrow path and few shall enter the kingdom. One may ask, how many is a few?

      The Pastor is correct. He could have explained it a little better.
      You cannot know the MEANING of a passage unless/until you know
      the CONTEXT. In Matthew, those who would not come represents the Jews. Therefore the Gospel "call" goes into the world (both Jew and Gentile)
      through the "call" of the Christian Gospel.
      --------------
      Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
      from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
      --------------
      Many are called (called by the Christian Gospel)
      but few are chosen (chosen or elected to be saved)
      ---------------
      Remember, in Matthew 13, the Lord explains that the
      (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" (the church) consists
      of both many unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) destined to eternal torment
      and relatively few saved "wheat" (sown by God) destined to eternal life.
      ----------------
      Context means everything

    I knew you before the formation of the earth, I created the beginning from the end. When you honestly seek God as your way of life and not just a season, you get glimpses of his MAJESTY. That's all we can handle and our faith starts growing from that seed.

    How do you know if you are really called or your just deceiving yourself? Believing dosen't matter because the devil believes.I think alot of people are in real danger of eternal punishment thinking they are good with God.

      Hi! I hope this helps: “called” many times in the Bible is synonymous to “chosen”(aka saved and justified). However, the words mean different things in the parable of the wedding feast that states “many are called but few are chosen”. The usage of the two words in that story is this: “called” means being invited/prodded/told to believe in God and receive salvation. “Chosen” means that you are saved and believe in Jesus to the death among those he called. And Jesus “calls” and begs every human being to accept Him in someway in the world, but only the ones He’s “chosen” will heed that general call all the way through by His grace.

    As I reflected on this question, a couple of verses came to mind. Second Thessalonians 2:13-14. "We ought always to be thanking GOD for you, brothers dearly loved by the LORD, because GOD chose you from the beginning for salvation through the SPIRIT'S consecration of you and through your faith in the truth, and to this end HE called you by our preaching of the good news, so that you may obtain the glory of our LORD JESUS CHRIST". In verse 13, GOD "chose" individuals for HIS salvation. HE does this without our knowledge of HIM doing so. This is because we did not exist when HE "chose" us. "HE chose us" [for salvation]" in HIM before the foundation of the world, Ephesians 1:4". Then in verse 14, GOD "calls" us [to salvation] through the preaching of the gospel. Before we come to salvation, our spirit is utterly "dead" Ephesians 2:1-5. As the gospel is preached, the HOLY SPIRIT quickens our spirit and make us aware of our need of salvation as GOD "calls" us. So to be "chosen" by GOD and then to be "called" by GOD are two distinct actions performed by GOD alone outside of any actions by us. Theologians call this a monergistic event. I hope this information helps.

    Another scripture that supports this theory of called vs. chosen is Timothy 2:20
    It reads:
    “In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”
    ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:20-21‬ ‭NIV‬‬
    It talks of different kinds of people. By cleansing ourselves and becoming more like Jesus he is able to use us for greater things. But we can choose to be used for common things and in some translations common is interchangeable with “dishonorable” things.
    So yes, many are called, but to be chosen means to be a special instrument used for great things. But you became special by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and allowing him to transform our lives. That’s the glory He is looking for as a demonstration of his power.
