sorrow mean tribulations ,or hardships in our lives that we live in a godly way ;
Jn 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Jn 3:20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
Jn 3:21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”Jas 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
Jas 1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Jas 1:4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.Hi Nick,
God grants us all the ability to repent through his grace, but WE are the ones that must repent.

I believe repent in the NT means “to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life” as one that lives by the Spirit does all that is right.
Hi Nick,
“Chosen” doesn’t mean chosen to be in the Kingdom, but rather
chosen means those chosen to handle of the Word of God.FEW ARE CHOSEN.
Thousands upon thousands – is NOT A FEW my friend.___________

Correct brother.
“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests : and we shall reign on the earth.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; (Rev 5:10-11)the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands
So a hundred and one million (101,000,000) is “JUST A FEW” to you; is that right? ???
“But the Lord said unto him (Ananias), Go thy way: for he (Shaool) is a chosen vessel unto me,
to bear my name before the Gentiles (A.K.A. Scripture), and kings, and the children of Israel:” (Acts 9:15)Hi ED,
Vessels fit for wrath and some for mercy.
And the difference is grace.
Rev 5.11
‘…I heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
They were countless in number, thousands and tens of thousands and they all cried out…”
Why would the number of angelic beings relate?
Hi ED,
Do you think the choice by God of Paul to act as a vessel in the role of an apostle must apply to all chosen vessels?
In a great household there are many vessels.
In the body of Christ there are many roles for the elect.
Hi Nick, my point is:
“Few are Chosen” to handle of the Word of God fits
while “Few are Chosen” to enter into God’s kingdom does not fit.___________

http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgHi ED,
The great multitude and the 144,000 of Rev 7 are the harvested men from the eareth.
Why did you include the angelic beings?
Hi Nick,
Sorry, I didn’t realize I was including Angelic beings 🙁

“Few are Chosen” to handle of the Word of God fits
Do you mean teach or something else because all that are Jesus’ followers handle the word as in believing.
while “Few are Chosen” to enter into God’s kingdom does not fit.
How do you come to this conclusion?
Hi Kerwin,
“Few are Chosen” to handle of the Word of God fits
Do you mean teach or something else because all that are Jesus’ followers handle the word as in believing.
By the context of the parable. Should I post it and explain it for you?
while “Few are Chosen” to enter into God’s kingdom does not fit.
How do you come to this conclusion?
Handling as in speaking “Scripture” much of it was recorded by 40 biblical writers, FEW ARE CHOSEN.
