Many are Called but Few are Chosen

There is definitely a difference between being called and being chosen.

When Christ uttered the words, “Many are called, but few are chosen” in Matthew 22:14, He was not offering us an opinion or a probability. He was stating a fact. That fact is still as true today as when Christ first stated it. Many Christians are called by God to His service, but few are ever chosen and appointed to walk in that service.
