God does not make the decision to choose to call us now, lightly; He and Christ, possibly with council from the 24 elders about His throne, consider very carefully, the implications of calling someone now in a world cut off from God; They have to take into account that the person they are considering will not only have to overcome their own human nature, but also Satan and the world. Our names has been mentioned in heaven, in the presence of God’s throne, many, many times. God is not capricious in the manner in how He selects and chooses His people. Therefore, as those who have been called and chosen, we must not take this decision lightly either. Hebrews 2:1 1 Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. (RSV) Hebrews 2:1 1 It is therefore necessary that we should pay all the more attention to what we have been told. Otherwise, we may well be like a ship which drifts past the harbour to shipwreck. (Barclay)
