What does the Bible say about the calling of Matthew?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Matthew was chosen by Jesus, illustrating God's sovereign grace in calling sinners.

In Matthew 10, we see Jesus calling His disciples, including Matthew, who was a tax collector. This act demonstrates the sovereign grace of God, where Jesus chose those who would follow Him, not based on merit but on His purpose and will. Matthew, identified as 'the publican', shows us that God's calling reaches even the most marginalized and despised of society.
