What Is the Difference Between ‘Called’ and ‘Chosen’?

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 878

[@bengiey2k]

It's simple. God calls. It's like the phone ringing and you do not answer. God's chosen are the one's that hear the phone ringing and answers the phone to speak to God.

[@stephaniedekinger2463]

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.

[@rudyferrell]

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

[@stephaniedekinger2463]

I am not doubting what you are saying but my question is how do you know you are chosen? Again not baiting you, I genuinely wanna know.

[@kjc888]

⁠@@brentducote4526You’ll know because God will reveal it to you. It can happen by way of waking up in the middle of the night to ideas being revealed to you. You’ll have dreams and visions of your purpose. You’ll know that the ideas are not yours but, God’s, and they’ll align with His will. You may not even want to be chosen when you are, but you’ll know you have to carry out his purpose for you.

[@77ronboy]

God's call to "all" is the same as why we preach the Gospel to all. We don't know who the "chosen" are, but it will be [only] them who will respond to the call. I hope that answers some of you questions.

[@ado5778]

[@deemisquadis9437]

You are called to do a task to help someone complete their mission. You are chosen, because you chose before you came here. I am chosen. And I have been called many times. 😊😇🤗

[@bellajones4968]

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.

[@wisevirgin3405]

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 ----------------- www.5thkingdomofheaven.com/chapter-3 --------------------

[@michellebranson1909]

I know I have been chosen since birth. I have been through so much in my life. I dont remember much about my childhood. I remember wanting god to live since i was 6 or 7. 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. To know what it feels like to love all the people in the world. I have always wanted to change others lives. What other people feel matters to me.

Be encouraged in your life,you're not alone. For God cares about those who fear Him. God bless you !♡

[@vanessa2d898]

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❤

[@Crystal4Christ4Eva]

@@marytitus2874 it's not about trying to force your self those that are in Christ are a new creature. Before I was saved 5 years ago I was a worker of the Devil, I was blind to the truth about Jesus. But when I finally got sick and tired of my sinful ways I accepted his calling. 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. These are the last days everyone should have soul insurance and that's through Jesus Christ.

[@marytitus2874]

@@Crystal4Christ4Eva No I get that. I've believed for like 5 years but I've never wanted to fully surrender to Christ for multiple reasons and no matter what I do I can't like make myself really want it. I've been raped and tortured by demons for years and I'm pretty angry at God and like I mostly want to die, and if I can't die I basically don't want to do anything whatsoever.

[@loraredmond6934]

I've had quite a few people tell me that I would be good at preaching , . Now I am a sinner and don't go to church like I should, but when I get started about the bible , it's like I have so much to say, and say things I didn't really know . And I look it up and I would be like, wow this is amazing. Like the word( iota) came to me, never heard of it before in my life. And when I looked it up in the bible, it said, iota-the smallest letter in Hebrew, dot, or jot. And talks about the Old Testament being true. It blowed my mind, I was like thank u Lord. And like I said I am a sinner, but love talking about the bible, and like I said once I start I can't stop.

[@johnhoffman8203]

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.

Election does not equal salvation.

[@emerald6858]

By the way, for chosen people, their suffering starts from childhood. No matter what they do, they just seem to suffer if they’re not on track with God. But they who are called, their suffering starts immediately they answer to the call of Jesus

[@Abeliever000]

Can you expand on this? I really want to know what you mean by this and if Bible says so (because of my own suffering).

[@Yahshuaismyeverything]

I suffer even when I’m on track with God Ik God chosen me but I’ve always suffered in some way

[@emerald6858]

@@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. I hope this clarifies…

[@emerald6858]

@@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…🤗

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.

As I was watching this video the thought came to mind that this verse goes so well with.

It's very much like the military. Some join because they love their country & want to protect it & their people, while others join because they want the free schooling or other reasons.

When the Lord first called Samuel, he thought the priest Eli had called him. Three times he went to Eli, who said he did not call him, and told him to go back and lay down. Finally Eli realized that it was the Lord who was calling Samuel. Eli told Samuel to respond the next time by saying: "Speak, for your servant is listening". See, First Samuel 3:1-21.

Many are called: the gospel, the good news proclaimed. But few are chosen: The regenerate/born again, transformed from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light It’s that simple and amazing

[@jazweehcom]

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.

[@stevemelton3619]

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?

When you are called by God it totally means you are appointed and called by God himself that call comes with a special annoiting 1 your spiritual eyes are empower by God to see things in the spiritual realm 2 you have the gift of healing to lay hands as the spirit of God instruct you to lay your hand and persons are heal 3 the gift to decern etc

[@suggssuggs7878]

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.

Called linked to 2 Timothy 1:9, which states, 'Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began!' This calling is done by God, and God alone without any help form humans. Chosen: Out of many that are called, only a few of those people are chosen, and those that are chosen are those who not only believe the gospel, but have repented, entered into the kingdom of God, baptized, and continue to carry on the gospel of Christ, as well as the continuation to follow Christ, to seek Him, strive to 'do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.'

[@Seraphim7]

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 NIV *I always thought of being chosen by God (before He created me in my Mother's womb) was the same as a call from God to Follow Him. I think this Scripture means God calls us to follow Him. But, few accept that call. And, the ones who actually Follow Jesus are the chosen ones because not all the world will answer to the invitation to live for Christ...

To uplift and encourage you. One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing. I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV THIS IS HOW PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS! AUTHENTIC CHRISTENS CAN SEE THE DEVIL MASQUERADING AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT WHEN THEY HAVE JESUS IN THEIR HEART. HIS PEACE REIGNS SUPREME. THEY FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS OBIDIENTLY. FALSE TEACHERS DO NOT AND MIX WORLDLY TEACHINGS WITH GODLY ONES. My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. I am now centered, grounded and balanced in Heavenly Peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN JESUS IS IN YOUR HEART.

[@leslielee8598]

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.
