I know our Lord said in Matthew 22:14 : “For many are called, but few are chosen.” But I think what is few in our eyes is not necessarily few in the Lord's eyes, because it is also written in 2 Peter 3:8 that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
So who are we to say "the vast majority of professed Christians are lost and will not make it"?
And I know it is also written in Romans 11:5 that the Lord has a remnant chosen by grace and when I read Revelation 7:9 there is "a great multitude which no one could number" before the throne of God!😊
And also written in Romans 14:4 :
Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
And actually, a truly born again Christian cannot be plucked from Jesus or the Father's hand! Jesus said so Himself in John 10:28-29.
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
So let us stop acting as if we are God to know how many Christians will be lost. I think they actually gloat when they say that and I can assure you they count themselves in that number that will be saved, yet they write off other Christians.
God's grace is a wide open space in which we stand secure in His favour, even though the entrance is narrow.
