ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!? Huh!? (part 2) Truth in Focus Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. You see? That indicates that not because you are called, you are already assured of salvation. Many are called, according to our Lord Jesus Christ himself, but few are chosen. So, it doesn't mean that because you are called, then you are already chosen. After God called you, he will choose from amongst those who are called to be worthy for salvation in the last day. There are proofs in the scriptures that there are those who were called but did not merit salvation. Who are they? There are many instances in the scriptures proving that not all those who were called were chosen or have succeeded in attaining salvation. Let us prove that in 2 Tim. 4:3-4:2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Note that. Their ears are hearers of truth but time will come that they will not endure sound doctrine. These are people who are enjoying hearing sound doctrine because they were called in the church. But according to the prophecy of apostle Paul, time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heed to themselves, teachers having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. Meaning, they are from the truth. They were once in the truth, they were hearers of the truth but time will come they will not continue hearing the truth. "Having itching ears", their ears will be turned unto fables according to the Bible. This is clear now, that because you are called, you are given the chance to serve God. Will all attain salvation? No. There are people in the first century Christian church that were called but were not chosen. One good example is Judas Iscariot. He was called. In fact, it was our Lord Jesus Christ who personally called him as an apostle. But he was not that faithful to endure sound doctrine. He manifested the kind of heart he have and had turned to be a traitor. There are so many others. Ananias and Sapphira were also called but did not remain faithful. There are other people since the start of the Christian dispensation who were called into the church but did not continue. To be continued...
