Good Morning. In order to receive a crown of righteousness at the second coming of the Lord we must not only be called by God but we must also be chosen by our acceptance of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. In Matt. 20:16, Jesus said, “So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this verse said, “There are but few chosen Christians, in comparison with the many that are only called Christians; it therefore highly concerns us to build our hope for heaven upon the rock of an eternal choice, and not upon the sand of an external call; and we should fear lest we be found but seeming Christians, and so should really come short; nay, lest we be found blemished Christians, and so should seem to come short, Heb. 4:1.” God has called us out of darkness into the marvelous light of the everlasting gospel. What we are really doing with this “call”. I pray that we will continue to allow the Holy Spirit to do his work on transformation in our heart so that the choices we make every day will cause us to get a seat around the great banquet table in heaven.
