What does it mean that few are chosen according to Matthew 7:14?

Answered in 1 source

Matthew 7:14 indicates that true faith is a narrow path, affirming that many are called but few are genuinely chosen.

In Matthew 7:14, Jesus teaches about the narrow way that leads to life, clearly stating that while many are invited to follow Him, only a few will actually find the path to salvation. This reflects the Reformed understanding of election, emphasizing God's sovereign choice in salvation. The reality is that spiritual regeneration is a work of the Holy Spirit, making it clear that not all who profess faith genuinely belong to Christ. This doctrine should inspire humility and reliance on God's grace in our journey of faith.
