The annointed who go to heaven number 144K and are chosen by God to serve as kings and priests with Jesus (King of God's Kingdom). This implies that although many are chosen by God to serve with Jesus in Heaven, only a few will remain faithful to the end> It means that many are bapised into The Church but few will endure in faith, righteous, and good works in the Lord Jesus Christ, to the end. The parable of the sower, Matthew 13:3-9(King James Bible) signifies they who are prepared for the Word and those who are not; And it does illustrate why, "many are called but few are chosen". Matthew 7:21-27 is another collection of verses that indirectly relate to the question above, but more directly speak to those who think they can deceive the Lord with superficial works of righteousness and love and faith when in truth, their hearts are elsewhere and have their own agendas. Those who are poor in spirit, and or persecuted for righteousness sake (Matthew 5:3; 5:10) are two of numerous scriptures explaining how and who will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; And Matthew 5:20: "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.">

∙ 15y ago* It is not just for Pastors, But also for those answer the call to salvation but don't walk in it. * All people have the opportunity to believe but few choose to respond to the invitation. The phrase is used by Jesus as a summary of the Parable of the Wedding Feast and is best understood in this context. It refers to the choosing at the Judgement of those who have responded to God's call.

How many times are you called his chosen ones?
If this is referring to God, then we only need to be called His chosen ones once. And if we remain as His chosen ones then we will have eternal life with Christ Jesus. But remember, the Bible states that many are called, but few are chosen. And few are only chosen because only few actually live according to the Christian faith that they proclaim. It will do no one any good to just "profess" to be a Christian. You need to LIVE as a Christian to be chosen by God.

ELECTION (from "Lecture") Those who will receive eternal life are called the "elect" The opposite of elect is "reprobate" (re + probate) (AGAIN PLACED ON PROBATION) ..."Many are 'called' but few are 'chosen'"... Those who are chosen are chosen by ELECTION. An election is chosing by vote. In this case it is a public voice-vote as opposed to SELECTION which is a "secret"+ election, usually by ballot. This election occurs "before the foundation of the world". Before you were born. In the "before-time". You are also "called" before you are chosen. Remember... "Many are called bu few are chosen." Even fewer will be "faithful" after being chosen. FAITHFUL unto death. Even the death of the cross. All who are Chosen by ELECTION were first "called". All who were "called" were "predestined" and those who were presdestined were "foreknown". FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINED, CALLED, CHOSEN (BY ELECTION), FAITHFUL This is the group you want to be in ...THE "CALLED, CHOSEN AND FAITHFUL" THE TRIED, TESTED AND TRUE THE PURGED, PURIFIED AND PERFECTED THE JUSTIFIED, SAINTIFIED AND GLORIFIED Mystery: God does not 'vote'.

Why were Sarah and abrabram unlikely people of God?
All people are unlikely people of God. No one is perfect, no one is worthy to be chosen or used by God. It is called GRACE: unearned favor, God's sovereign choice. This is what separates many people from God, they want to be the boss, and be their own god. But there is only one God, we can find His grace through God the Son; Jesus Christ. We can be chosen, by grace.
