Called, Chosen, and Faithful

You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its remotest parts And said to you, 'You are My servant, I have chosen you and not rejected you. 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' "Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
Isaiah 41:9-11 NASB

"For many are called, but few are chosen."
Matthew 22:14 NASB

1 Peter 2:9 NASB

"I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

The Remaking of the Vessel

Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it, Only bruises, welts and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil. Isaiah 1:5-6 NASB

Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, 'Where is their God?'" Joel 2:17 NASB

"Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will announce My words to you." Jeremiah 18:2 NASB

But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make. Jeremiah 18:4 NASB
