The Outward Calling

• Matthew 2214
• For many are called, but few are chosen.
• Acts 1730
• Therefore having overlooked the times of
  ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all
  people everywhere should repent,

The Inward Calling

• 1 Corinthians 121-24
• For since in the wisdom of God the world through
  its wisdom did not come to know God, God was
  well-pleased through the foolishness of the
  message preached to save those who believe. For
  indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for
  wisdom but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a
  stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but
  to those who are the called, both Jews and
  Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of
  God.
• John 644 "No one can come to Me unless the
  Father who sent Me draws him and I will raise
  him up on the last day.

• Romans 59
• Much more then, having now been justified by His
  blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God
  through Him

• Galatians 324
• Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead
  us to Christ, so that we may be justified by
  faith.

Sanctification When?

• 1 Corinthians 611
• Such were some of you but you were washed, but
  you were sanctified, but you were justified in
  the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the
  Spirit of our God.

Sanctification When?

• 1 Thessalonians 523
• Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you
  entirely and may your spirit and soul and body
  be preserved complete, without blame at the
  coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
