Podcasts about imputed

Protestant Catholicism Many Protestants claim to reject Rome, but have rebuilt its system—only now it's performance-based, fruit-obsessed, and self-policed. This episode exposes how evangelicalism has traded the pope for personal authority, and the sacraments for spiritual effort—while losing the Gospel in the

Send us a textEpisode Title: How to Really Live

Abraham was considered by Paul in his letter to the Romans as a case for justification by faith. He concluded, “Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead” (Romans 4:23-24). What a tremendous blessing! What does it mean that righteousness is imputed to those who have faith?

Pastor Dave Cotner - Exit 2A. Righteousness Imputed With Explanation

This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues the Letters to the Church series with Romans 3:21-31. This passage teaches believers that their standing before God is not based on their own works or adherence to the law, but solely on their faith in Christ. It encourages Christians to rest in Christ's righteousness, alleviating the burden of guilt and performance while inviting those outside the faith to embrace the grace that is offered freely.Sermon notes are available on YouVersion Events.Video of the worship service is available for replay.

Understanding the word "imputed""Righteousness...shall be imputed [transferred] to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus." Ro 4:22, 24 NKJVPicture a transfer of funds from one account to another. Banks do it every day. Now imagine yourself destitute and unable to pay your debts. Then in an astounding act of grace, someone assumes all your debts and then transfers to your account such abundance that you never have to work or worry for the rest of your life. That's what happened at the cross when God imputed to Jesus all your sins from the cradle to the grave and imputed all His righteousness to you. Mind-blowing, isn't it? Would you say, "No thanks, I believe in paying my own way"?Would you say, "I can't allow you to do everything while I do nothing, so I'll work for the rest of my life to prove myself worthy of your love and grace"? Salvation is like health food that's labeled "no man-made additives." Understand this: The righteousness required for getting into heaven is not about behaving the right way, but believing the right way. You say, "But I feel such guilt when I sin." You're supposed to! Your new nature is reacting to sin just as your body does to food poisoning. Your boundaries have been violated and your regenerate spirit is saying that you can't indulge in that anymore; it's not who you are! Why did God arrange the plan of salvation in this way? Because any righteousness we could achieve falls far short of His standards. He actually calls it "filthy rags." Understand this: Your rewards in heaven are based upon your behavior, but getting into heaven is based on trusting in Christ alone.Understanding the word "imputed" It's not about behaving the right way, but believing the right way.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

The gospel is the most essential message in history, yet it's often treated as a tool for conversion and then set aside. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how this limits its transformative power in daily life. The cross is not the end of the gospel but the beginning of a deeper understanding as we walk with Christ. Grace, as Mark discovered, is far greater than we imagine. Our journey as believers is lifelong, and even seasoned Christians have only scratched the surface of the gospel's depth.Imputed righteousness is central to Christianity. We are justified—made right with God—the moment we are saved. Sanctification, however, is a lifelong process of becoming more like Christ, where our old selves are put to death. This process can be painful but is necessary for growth, much like pruning a plant. Justification secures our position before God, while sanctification shapes us into Christ's likeness. The more we focus on Christ, the more we desire to reflect Him. Everything in life ultimately works for our good: to be conformed to His image.As we grow closer to God, we become more aware of our sin, which fosters humility. Our identity is found in belonging to Christ, not in our past mistakes. In Him, the old has passed away, and our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. Jesus paid the ultimate price for our redemption. The guys encourage believers to reflect on if you're focused on your sin or your identity in Christ. Self-condemnation is a tool of the enemy. God sees us as His beloved children, freeing us to love Him fully.The gospel makes this possible. Jesus' sacrifice fulfilled the law's demands on our behalf. Preaching the gospel to yourself means acknowledging that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins and that God's wrath is no longer upon us. Our sins are covered. We must pursue a real, active relationship with God, obeying Him daily, as we do not know how much time we have. The gospel empowers us to live righteously and gives us boldness before God's judgment because Christ stands with us, providing refuge and comfort.The gospel is more than individual salvation—it is God's plan to establish His kingdom on earth as in heaven. From the fall of Adam and Eve to Christ's reign, Scripture reveals this unfolding purpose. Jesus invites us to live under His lordship as gospel people. The gospel is not just one part of life; it is the foundation for everything. It restores purpose, mends relationships, answers life's hardest questions, and transforms lives. Christians need the gospel daily, as it is the power by which we live and grow.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Grace—the unearned favor of God—is the source of your righteousness. In this sermon, Pastor Ben emphasizes the importance of differentiating between true and false Gospels and reveals that a life of rulership and dominion is a natural product of walking in your true identity as the righteousness of God. As you listen to this podcast, we pray that your mind is renewed by the reality of imputed righteousness, that you cultivate an unshakeable relationship with your Creator, and see His infinite goodness and grace in your life. May Christ—the hope of glory—shine through in all you do. Amen!

Title: Imputed Status Preacher: Mark Dever Series: Status with God Passage: Romans 4:7-8

Thanks be to God that when The Books are opened on The Day of Judgement, believers aren't worried in case their works are insufficient or that they have done so many bad deeds that they outweigh any good they have done. Jesus Christ “PAID IN FULL” for our sins and trespasses on the cross! He became our SUBSTITUTE. Not only did Jesus CARRY or BEAR AWAY our sins, He also IMPUTED to the Believer His very own RIGHTEOUSNESS! We are MADE or DECLARED to be RIGHTEOUS when we exercise FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ, and what He has done for us! To watch today's video, just click on this link!

Welcome to another insightful episode of Divorce at Altitude. In this episode, we delve deep into the intricate concepts of voluntary unemployment, underemployment, and imputed income, and their significant implications in matters of spousal and child support.Join us as we navigate through hypothetical scenarios involving Eric and Melanie Wolfe, fictional divorce clients, to shed light on how these issues manifest in real-life situations. From assessing Melanie's potential income as a stay-at-home mom to exploring Eric's decision to quit his job, we uncover the complexities of imputing income in divorce settlements.Highlights from the episode include:- Understanding the concept of voluntary unemployment and underemployment in the context of alimony and child support.- Exploring exceptions to imputing income, such as temporary employment, good faith career choices, and educational pursuits.- Unraveling the differences in imputation timelines between alimony (30 months) and child support (24 months).- Examining factors considered in determining potential income, including employment history, job skills, health, and local job market conditions.- Insights into utilizing expert witnesses and vocational evaluators to assess potential earnings.As we conclude, we acknowledge the complexity and contentious nature of voluntary unemployment and underemployment, making them among the most challenging issues in divorce proceedings. Whether you're navigating through a divorce or seeking insights into family law, this episode offers invaluable guidance.

Ephesians 6:14 — A breastplate was one of the most important pieces of armor worn by soldiers because it protected their vital organs in battle. As such, when Paul tells the Christian to put on the breastplate of righteousness, he is urging them to protect their vital parts of the heart and mind from the fiery darts of the devil. But how does one protect their heart and mind by putting on the breastplate of righteousness? In this sermon on Ephesians 6:14 titled “The Breastplate of Righteousness,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains the meaning behind this passage. He begins by stating that one's own righteousness alone is not enough to be victorious in battle, but rather the only righteousness that can protect is that of God. He then explains the two aspects of God extending his righteousness: imputed and imparted righteousness. Imputed righteousness is the righteousness the Christian receives from God through their faith in Him. But it does not stop there. Imparted righteousness is what makes God's righteousness a part of who they are as they become a new creation in Him. God imputes and imparts His perfect righteousness to His people so that they can be protected and stand firm in the day of battle.

This essay is more like research notes than exposition, so context may be missing, the use of terms may change across essays, and the text may be revised later; only the versions at tsvibt.blogspot.com are definitely up to date.] Humans are born with some elements of their minds, and without many other elements, some of which they'll acquire as their life unfolds. In particular, the elements that we pretheoretically call "values"--aesthetic preferences, goals, life goals, squad goals, aspirations, needs, wants, yearnings, drives, cravings, principles, morals, ethics, senses of importance, and so on--are for the most part acquired or at least unfolded, rather than being explicitly present in a newborn. How does this happen? What generates these mental elements? Hypothesis: a human derives many of zer values by imputing coherent agency to zer past behavior, and then adopting the goals of that fictitious agency as actively influential criteria for future action. Thanks to Sam Eisenstat for relevant conversations. The FIAT hypothesis As a shorthand: "the FIAT hypothesis" = "the Fictitious Imputed Adopted Telos hypothesis". ("Fiat" is Latin for "may it happen" or "may it be made", which has some resonance with the FIAT hypothesis in that they both talk about a free creation of goals.) FIAT goals are goals imputed to some behavior and then adopted as goals. Human behavior is determined by many things: built-in behavior-determiners such as the instinctive ability to breath, socially learned behavior and values, convergent instrumental goals, and freely created autopoietic goals such as artistic goals. The FIAT hypothesis says that a major determiner of a human's behavior is the process of adopting goals based on interpreting zer past behavior as agentic. Ze can be interpreted as asking the question: if my past behavior were the behavior of a coherent agent trying to do something, what would that something be? Then, whatever the answer was, ze adopts it as a goal--a target of more coherent behavior (more effective, more strategic, more orchestrated, more coordinated, more conscious, better resourced, more reflective, more univocal, more wasteless). This hypothesis gives a possible answer to the question: how did evolution build something with some substantial level of agentic coherence, even though evolution can't directly program conscious concepts like "avoiding death" or "saving food" or "inclusive genetic fitness" for use as terms in a utility function for an organism to pursue? This process could be continuous, with goals becoming gradually more coherent (and then potentially deprioritized, but usually not de-cohered). This process is iterative, starting with built-in behavior-determiners, then adopting new FIAT goals based on past behavior mainly generated by built-in determiners (and also maybe adopting new goals for other reasons), and then adopting new goals based on past behavior influenced by previously adopted goals, including previous FIAT goals, and so on. FIAT goals also come from not just imputing goals to zer own behavior, but also to the behavior of others, such as parents and leaders. Everything gets enshrined, but everything is open to criticism. Note that calling this a hypothesis is maybe presumptuous; it's an idea, but since it's abstract and it's about a complex system, there's a lot of ambiguity between FIAT and other explanations or descriptions of behavior, and it's not necessarily obvious how to make different predictions according to the FIAT hypothesis.

The Foundation for our being, character and life is the PERSON of CHRIST Himself (1Cor 3:11, Isa 28:16, Col 2:6-7). Christ is not just the Foundation for our eternal salvation, but for our very being and everyday living (Ro 1:16-17). "The RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is revealed from (saving) FAITH to (living) FAITH; as it is written: “(1) The JUST (by FAITH) shall (2) LIVE by FAITH” (v17). (1) First we are JUSTIFIED (made righteous) by FAITH. When we trust in Christ, His perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS is IMPUTED to us (put to our account) - a legal transaction based on the Great Exchange accomplished on the Cross. We stand before God on the basis of His perfect righteousness, so God accepts us, just as He accepts Jesus. Christ and His imputed righteousness is our forever, firm foundation for our eternal salvation, and our life today, and it ensures our eternal life. On this legal basis God instantly gave us the New Birth. The imparted righteousness of Christ was applied to our spirit. Now we are justified by faith, we are now to LIVE by FAITH in Christ, our living Foundation, looking to Him and leaning on Him as our Source of life, rather than trusting in our own soul. As we trust in His Life in us, He sanctifies us by His Spirit, and we receive His imparted righteousness (grace) into our souls, inspiring and empowering us to do His will (Phil 2:13). The more we submit to Him and trust in Him as our Foundation, the more He fills us with His love and empowers us with His grace. Thus He is our Foundation for our everyday life. Living by faith starts by submitting to the Lordship of Christ and opening our hearts to receive His love-gift of His Spirit and His Word to us. Then by depending on the Spirit of grace, we must put His Word into practice (Matthew 7:24-25). The first 2 Foundational Doctrines of Christ are (1) REPENTANCE from dead works and (2) FAITH toward God (Heb 6:1-2). They describe the necessary attitude of our hearts, to live our lives on Christ, living from the supply of His grace, trusting in Him as our base of operation. We must REPENT from the old way of operating from our independent soul-life, trusting in self, which only produces dead works, and instead embrace the new way of trusting in Christ as our life, which produces the fruit of the Spirit (Matt 10:39, Rom 7:6, John 6:63). The new way is living under grace, by faith in the life of Christ within us. He is the only One who can save us from the penalty, power and presence of sin. In the old way of living under law, we make laws and principles our basis for living, and try to live them out from our own soul. Sin is the opposite of holiness and righteousness. Living under righteousness brings life, but living under sin brings death. God designed us to be holy to God, filled with His Spirit of righteousness, empowering us to live a life of righteousness by trusting Him as our Source, and thereby producing good works. The essence of sin is rejecting this way of depending on God, and instead going our own way, living out from self as the centre. Our own soul-life, rather than God's life, becomes our base of operation (Isaiah 53:6). The problem of sin is on 3 dimensions. *Level 1 of SIN is the STATE of SIN (imputed sin), which is due to Adam's original sin, the representative head of the human race. When he sinned, we all sinned in Adam. This is IMPUTED SIN (Adam's sin was put to our account). All mankind are born legally in a State of Sin, simply because of being in Adam. As a result spiritual and physical death came on all men (Romans 5:12-21). *Level 2 of SIN is the SIN-NATURE or IMPARTED SIN. When Adam sinned (1) his spirit died (disconnected from God's life), (2) he received a sin-nature in his flesh (imparted sin), replacing his spirit as the controlling power over his soul, causing his soul to operate in pride, independently from God (the independent soul-life). The sin-nature is called sin (1Jn 1:8, Ro 6:6,7,11,12,14), sin in the flesh (Ro 8:3), the body of sin (Ro 6:6). We inherited a sin-nature in our flesh from Adam through physical birth (John 3:6).We were born slaves to sin (the sin-nature), and cannot set ourselves free. *Level 3 of SIN is PERSONAL SINS. We commit sins when we yield to the sin-nature in our flesh (John 8:34). Through the Cross, Christ provided the answer for all 3 dimensions of SIN. Daniel 9:24 predicts Christ will: "(1) finish the TRANSGRESSION (Adam's original sin), (2) make an end of SINS (forgiveness for personal sins), (3) make atonement for INIQUITY (our sin-nature).” (1) Jesus dealt with our STATE of SIN in Adam, by coming as the righteous 2nd Adam, offering Himself to us as our new Head. When we receive Him as our Lord, God takes us out of Adam and puts us into Christ, and His perfect righteousness is imputed to us as a free-gift. Instead of the imputed sin of Adam, we now have the imputed righteousness of Christ, and on that basis God declares us forgiven and righteous (justified by faith).

The Foundation for our being, character and life is the PERSON of CHRIST Himself (1Cor 3:11, Isa 28:16, Col 2:6-7). Christ is not just the Foundation for our eternal salvation, but for our very being and everyday living (Ro 1:16-17). "The RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is revealed from (saving) FAITH to (living) FAITH; as it is written: “(1) The JUST (by FAITH) shall (2) LIVE by FAITH” (v17).

The more we submit to Him and trust in Him as our Foundation, the more He fills us with His love and empowers us with His grace. Thus He is our Foundation for our everyday life. Living by faith starts by submitting to the Lordship of Christ and opening our hearts to receive His love-gift of His Spirit and His Word to us. Then by depending on the Spirit of grace, we must put His Word into practice (Matthew 7:24-25). The first 2 Foundational Doctrines of Christ are (1) REPENTANCE from dead works and (2) FAITH toward God (Heb 6:1-2). They describe the necessary attitude of our hearts, to live our lives on Christ, living from the supply of His grace, trusting in Him as our base of operation. We must REPENT from the old way of operating from our independent soul-life, trusting in self, which only produces dead works, and instead embrace the new way of trusting in Christ as our life, which produces the fruit of the Spirit (Matt 10:39, Rom 7:6, John 6:63). The new way is living under grace, by faith in the life of Christ within us. He is the only One who can save us from the penalty, power and presence of sin. In the old way of living under law, we make laws and principles our basis for living, and try to live them out from our own soul. Sin is the opposite of holiness and righteousness. Living under righteousness brings life, but living under sin brings death. God designed us to be holy to God, filled with His Spirit of righteousness, empowering us to live a life of righteousness by trusting Him as our Source, and thereby producing good works. The essence of sin is rejecting this way of depending on God, and instead going our own way, living out from self as the centre. Our own soul-life, rather than God's life, becomes our base of operation (Isaiah 53:6). The problem of sin is on 3 dimensions. *Level 1 of SIN is the STATE of SIN (imputed sin), which is due to Adam's original sin, the representative head of the human race. When he sinned, we all sinned in Adam. This is IMPUTED SIN (Adam's sin was put to our account). All mankind are born legally in a State of Sin, simply because of being in Adam. As a result spiritual and physical death came on all men (Romans 5:12-21). *Level 2 of SIN is the SIN-NATURE or IMPARTED SIN. When Adam sinned (1) his spirit died (disconnected from God's life), (2) he received a sin-nature in his flesh (imparted sin), replacing his spirit as the controlling power over his soul, causing his soul to operate in pride, independently from God (the independent soul-life). The sin-nature is called sin (1Jn 1:8, Ro 6:6,7,11,12,14), sin in the flesh (Ro 8:3), the body of sin (Ro 6:6). We inherited a sin-nature in our flesh from Adam through physical birth (John 3:6).We were born slaves to sin (the sin-nature), and cannot set ourselves free. *Level 3 of SIN is PERSONAL SINS. We commit sins when we yield to the sin-nature in our flesh (John 8:34). Through the Cross, Christ provided the answer for all 3 dimensions of SIN. Daniel 9:24 predicts Christ will: "(1) finish the TRANSGRESSION (Adam's original sin), (2) make an end of SINS (forgiveness for personal sins), (3) make atonement for INIQUITY (our sin-nature).” (1) Jesus dealt with our STATE of SIN in Adam, by coming as the righteous 2nd Adam, offering Himself to us as our new Head. When we receive Him as our Lord, God takes us out of Adam and puts us into Christ, and His perfect righteousness is imputed to us as a free-gift. Instead of the imputed sin of Adam, we now have the imputed righteousness of Christ, and on that basis God declares us forgiven and righteous (justified by faith).

This episode is entirely devoted to the Doctrine of Justification with specific emphasis on what Wesley and Arminius had to say about Imputation. We realize there is a lot of debate and confusion today about the Doctrine of Justification. It is important for Wesleyans and Arminians to see what their theological founders had to say. To do this we will be reading and discussing a variety of secondary and primary sources on Justification and Imputation. It is clear that both Wesley and Arminius stood with the Protestant Reformers on this issue. We will also spend time focusing on three aspects of Justification that both Wesley and Arminius had in common: (1) they both expressed agreement with John Calvin (2) they both did not want to make a distinction between the “Active” and “Passive” righteousness of Christ in their Doctrine of Imputation and (3) they both taught that “Faith is Imputed for Righteousness” and for this they were criticized by their Reformed contemporaries.  Please visit the theologians page of our website to find links to all the books we references in this episode. We encourage you to buy them and read them all for yourself.

We are in a very real battle. But that fight is not with a flesh and blood enemy, but with spiritual powers and principalities. In light of that unique conflict, Paul counsels us to put on the full armor of God that we might engage in battle effectively.  We're going to look at 3 of those pieces of armor in this message and the remainder in the next episode.The first piece of armor Paul mentions is the…The Belt of Truth. For the Roman soldier, the belt was key to many of the other aspects of the armor. For one thing, it gathered a soldier's tunic so the material wouldn't hamper his movements. As well, it secured the bottom of the breastplate and the sheath for the sword. In beginning with this piece of armor, Paul reminds us that one of the most basic elements we need to put on is truth. The reason why is that our Adversary specializes in the lie. The Evil One's lies come in all sorts of ways, but the two primary things he lies about are who God is and who you are. But Satan's lies are countered by the truth of God's Word.  The second piece of armor is…The Breastplate of Righteousness.The Roman breastplate protected the vital organs and was an essential piece of armor, one no soldier would go into battle without. When the enemy would thrust with his sword, stab with his spear, or fire an arrow in an attempt to get to the soldier's heart, it was the breastplate that protected him.  In a similar way, it's the breastplate of righteousness that protects our hearts.  There are two layers to this.Imputed righteousness: This is the righteousness given to us by God at salvation. When Satan accuses us and condemns us for the times we fail, remember it is Christ's righteousness that protects our hearts. Imparted righteousness:  When we become Christians, God's Spirit is imparted, or given, to us and He gives us the capacity to live righteously. We are then to walk in ways that are consistent with who we are as everyday saints. However, when we sin, if we do not deal with it quickly through confession and repentance, it can create a chink in our breastplate. Paul warns us here to keep our breastplate on and intact. The third piece of armor is…The Shoes of Peace.For the Roman soldier, to lose his footing in a battle quite often insured his death.  Thus it was that he would wear open-toed boots or sandals with nail-studded soles.  The foundation we are to stand on in the battles we face is the readiness that comes from God's peace - peace with God and the peace of God. Text: Ephesians 6:13-17Originally recorded on July 17, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.   ARMOR OF GOD PRAYER

We have shown in previous videos, that when Jesus talks about throwing people into “the outer darkness,” He's making a contrast between the fate of those without faith versus verses those with faith. This video examines Matthew 22:1-14, the Parable of the Wedding Feast. Who's the King? Who's the son? Why is the bride missing? Who are those that eventually come to the feast? In Matthew 22:1, Jesus is still talking to the chief priests and scribes and Pharisees, from Chapter 21. Were these guys, believers, or unbelievers? Unbelievers. He starts His parable, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son. Who is the king? It's God, the Father. Who is the Son? Jesus Christ? Who is the bride? The church. The bride but isn't even mentioned here, because the bride isn't around yet. Matthew 22:3 continues, “He set out his servants to call those who were invited,” Another way of translating the word “invited” is “called.” They were called. "... they were not willing to come.” This sounds like Matthew 23:37, where Jesus says in part, “How often I would have gathered you together, …but you were not willing.” The king is very patient. It says, “Again, he sent out other servants saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, ‘See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen, my fatted cattle are killed and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” The word “dinner” here means “breakfast” or “brunch.” This is important. This is not the wedding feast yet. Why not? The bride hasn't showed up. In the ancient world, the bride groom would only come and get the bride only when everything was ready (to include the feast). The anxious bride would run to meet the bridegroom with her trousseau or her hope chest. They would go to the place prepared, to the wedding feast. Meanwhile, the guests are showing up through the day and taken in and there was food for you. Jesus continues with the parable, “But they made light of it and they went their ways, one to his farm and another to his business. The rest seized his servants and treated them spitefully and killed them.” Matthew 22:7 says, “When the king heard about it, he was furious. He sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.” What happened to Jerusalem? God sent an army to destroy the city. Verse eight continues, “Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.” Note, the Centurion from Chapter 8, because of his unworthiness, turns to faith, and the others don't. In the parable, the king says, “They were not worthy, therefore go into the highways.” This means the side roads, the gravel paths. “…as many as you find invite to the wedding.” These are not the normal guests that you would pick. Jesus uses this analogy because, in the mind of the Jewish people, the Gentiles, as one rabbi said, “are fit only to ignite the flames of hell.” Jesus pictures a people who are blind, crippled, and deaf to shock his audience. The parable says, “The servants went out on the highways, and they gathered together, all whom they found both bad and good.” This is bad and good in human estimation not God's. God knows that all of us are bad and that there's only one thing that makes us good. And that's Christ. “The wedding hall was filled with guests.” Is the guest and the bride the same thing? Some preach this that way. Here's the controversy. “When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who didn't have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?” According to the custom of the day, it was the king's responsibility to provide the guests with a wedding garment. What does the wedding garment picture? Imputed righteousness. We'll explain in the next video. It says, “The man was speechless. So the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'” Here, “the outer darkness, the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth” refers to the same thing as with the four other Matthew passages. Matthew 24:14 ends the parable, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Who are “called?” All. Who are chosen? Only those who respond to the call. When God the Father chose Christ the Son to go to the cross for sinful man; He automatically chose all who would be in Christ (Ephesians 1:4). All who would believe.
