Does God call everyone?

[tonychanyt]

Jesus told the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Mt 22:

2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,

The king is the Father. Jesus is the Son.

3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

The servants made their 1st call to the invited group of people I1.

4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited,

More servants made the 2nd call to the same group I1. Still, they would not come.

8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

The servants made their 3rd call, targeting a different group of invitees, I2.

14 Many are called, but few are chosen.”

Wasn't everyone called?

No. The king sent servants on location to call the locals.

Is everyone called today?

No, at least not yet. God needs to send servants to call people directly. Mt 28:

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Ro 10:

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

God sends his servants to call people in different parts of the world. When the chosen ones believe, they call him back

Does God call everyone?

God desires everyone to hear the gospel, but not everyone has heard the gospel from a servant of God.
