Called Or Chosen

Have you been called?..... Have you been chosen? ...

"For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14

Are you luke warm?..... Revelation 3:15-16 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

Do you follow every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord?....

".... that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live." Deuteronomy 8:3

Are you easily influenced by family , friends, boss or co-workers?...

If your boss asked you to work on the Sabbath.... Would You?.... Even if you didn't, it would cost you your job.... Are you that committed to God?....

If you were unemployed.... had nothing to eat... had no money and did not know where your next meal would come from... Would you turn down a great paying job like you've never had before because they wanted you to work on the Sabbath.... Or would you take the job?......

Do you keep xmas for the children's sake.... ?

Do you pay your tithes?...

"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8

On the Sabbath would you go to a restaraunt or the grocery store... Even if you had nothing to eat for the day... Or would you wait until after the Sabbath.....

When things do not go your way or the way you expect God to act... Do you loose your faith?

Do you pray without ceasing?...

"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Will you forsake all others for the Lord..... Even your children..... ?

Will you be willing to die for the Lord.... ? Will you never give up and never give an inch...

These are some of the questions that seperate the many called from the few Chosen ones...

Sin is like leaven.... The smallest bit grows into a larger ball...

 

Now just HOW FAR may YOU safely go, in doing what you WANT, instead of what you OUGHT to do?

Haven't you often compromised on this? Haven't you often WANTED to do something you knew you really ought not? And haven't you sometimes gone at least PART WAY, thinking that perhaps if you didn't go ALL THE WAY in doing wrong, you might "get away with it"?

How many, under temptation to commit fornication or adultery, go PART WAY -- perhaps just a little "necking"? And how often does that lead to going just a LITTLE farther -- and then perhaps just a little farther still? Going that first PART WAY is already committing the act SPIRITUALLY -- according to the spirit or intent of the law! When you did that you were already GUILTY in God's sight.

You are a free moral agent. But to go as far as you dare IS THE WAY OF SATAN, NOT THE WAY OF GOD!

GOD'S WAY is to go, sincerely, wholeheartedly and earnestly, just AS FAR in the RIGHT direction as possible.

God's way is to do MORE than is required of you.

Jesus said: "Doth he (a master) thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do" (Luke 17:9-10).

If you do not even go as far in the wrong direction as you feel safe -- if you do what is commanded -- what God, through His Word, shows is YOUR DUTY, but do not go EVEN FARTHER in the RIGHT direction, doing MORE than your duty, Jesus Christ says you are an UNPROFITABLE SERVANT! Plainly, Christ expects us to do MORE than duty in the RIGHT direction!

And what happens to the unprofitable servant?

In the parable of the talents, Jesus said of the one who kept what he had, but did not grow in knowledge and grace -- did not overcome -- did what was his duty and no more -- "And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30).

The Christian life is a life of growing, improving in character -- of overcoming -- of becoming more and more like Christ!
