God’s invitation comes with His authority, and entry into His kingdom is based on repentance and humility, not personal merit. Many assume that being “good” is enough, but Jesus reframes the question entirely — asking not if we are good, but if we are willing to surrender to God’s terms rather than our own.\n\nThe closing words, “Many are called, but few are chosen,” remind us that while the invitation is extended to all, only those who respond with true humility are welcomed into the joy of God’s kingdom.\n\nTo watch all messages from this series, visit us on YouTube at @HopeChurchRVA or click the link in our bio."}
