“So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.” (Mt 20:16 KJV)
I have been thinking about the terms being “called” and “chosen” for a long time now. Already many years ago, I heard people say that they were called by Jesus
(1) due to the testimony of other people or
(2) because they were listening to a preacher’s sermon or
(3) since they felt God speaking to their own heart
And I have been wondering what the Bible really means by being “called”
