CHOSEN For many are called, but few are chosen (Matthew - TopicsExpress



          

CHOSEN For many are called, but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14) The word Chosen as used above is translated from the Greek word Eklektos which means to elect, select, or pick from among others. In Hebrew, it is translated ecclesia, which means the called out ones; the ones that have been sanctified and separated from the world unto God. Thus, to say Youre The Chosen Of The Lord, means youre the elect of God; youve been selected for the glory-life; youve been picked of God to live the successful and victorious life in Christ. Youve been separated from the common life to a life of glory, victory and success. Chosen of God means you belong to the special class of Gods cream of the crop, separated from the world and its attendant evil, peril and decay unto the glorious life of liberty, prosperity, peace, progress and joy. It means to be sanctified from the common life and separated unto glory, wholly set apart for Gods divine use, as a matter of divine choice. It means a separation unto the higher life-the transcendent life, different from the life of the world. This is the same meaning the word conveys in 1 Peter 2:9: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. #Asanda
