What is the nature of Our Calling?

Not according to man’s wisdom:

1 Corinthians 1:26

Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.

4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.

Many are called; but few are chosen:

Matthew 22:14

“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
