HOW TO BE CHOSEN BY GOD

Matthew 22:1-14

Truth: Jesus invites all to be His chosen. Jesus invites all, but not all are chosen. Jesus invites all to be chosen, but you must choose Him. Have you been chosen by Jesus?

I. JESUS INVITES ALL TO BE HIS CHOSEN

1. The nation of Israel where God’s chosen. Matt 22:1-3. Deut 14:2; John 1:11-13
2. The invitation to be one of God’s chosen is given to all. Matt 22:4,9, Rom 10:13; John 3:16; Matt 11:28
3. The Gospel message is to the world! Matt 28:19

II. NOT ALL ARE CHOSEN

1. The nation of Israel rejected Christ. Matt 22:3,4-8. Matt 23:37-39
2. All who reject Christ will not be chosen. Matt 22:11, 14; Acts 4:12; Matt 7:21-23

III. TO BE CHOSEN, YOU MUST CHOOSE HIM

1. The Lord chooses from the bad and the good. Matt 22:10; Acts 10:34. Rom 2:11
2. You choose Christ by seeking forgiveness of your sins. Acts 16:30; Acts 2:37
3. You choose Christ by faith through His grace. Rom 4:16; Gal 3:22
4. When you surrender to Him, Christ gives you Salvation and you become one of His chosen. 2 Thess 2:13; James 2:5; 1 Peter 2:9; Rev 17:14
