 THE CHOSEN OF THE LORD (6)

Text: Jonah 1: 5-16

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we examined the chosen as channels

of promise and as victors and not the vanquished.

Today, as we conclude this series, may the Lord Himself teach

and bless us through His word in Jesus Name.

1. MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE CHOSEN

The call of God unto salvation is given to many but as far the kingdom

of God is concerned, only the FEW who respond to the call and

endure their salvation to the end are CHOSEN.

Matt. 22:14, Matt. 11:28, Jn. 3:16, Rev. 3:20, 22:17, Ep. 1:4-5, ll

Thess. 2:13-14, Jn. 1:11-12, 3:3-7.

2. THE FIRST SHALL BE THE LAST

In heaven, there will be a lot of surprises as many who were thought to

be great in the church will be ranked behind others and many who

were unknown will be exalted to glorious positions because God does

not judge or value people by outward appearance but by the sincerity

and purity of their hearts.

Matt. 20:16, Matt. 19:27-30, I Cor. 15:45-50, Mk. 12:42-44, Matt.

26:7-13, I Sam. 16:7, Isa. 65:1-2, Matt. 23:37, Rom. 8:29-30, Lk.

13:25-30.
