The Bible says in Matthew 22:14 “Many are called but few are chosen”. Does this seem unfair to you? If choosing God is a life and death decision, then why would God not choose certain people? A lot of people use the word “omnipotent” to describe God, but I would not use this word personally. Why? Because God has limits. “Omnipotent” implies no limits. In Titus 1.2 the Bible says “in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago”. But since the Bible also says in Psalm 34:3 “O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.”, I think it is OK to say God is Omnipotent. But isn’t it nice to know that God’s limitation is that He cannot lie?

In Psalm 139:13 the Bible says: “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.” So God knew us before we were even born. Because of this, I believe that God knows who will accept him, and who won’t, omnipotent or not. So in His perfect nature, he doesn’t bother drawing people who won’t ever accept him, because He knows already what they are going to do. But just so people are without excuse, He instructs us to preach the Gospel to everyone. So it is our job to try to draw everyone to salvation in Jesus, but God only personally draws those who He knows will accept the truth.

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely honored that the God of creation chose me, spent his time drawing me, a “weak thing” to be his servant! Praise God!
