IN GOD'S COVENANTS THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

Those who will be first in God's kingdom must come by grace through faith without works. This is why in Mt.20 Jesus said the workers in God's vineyard receive the same pay. The many that are called represented in the parable by Israel under the law, but actually are the whole world because of the New Covenant, are only the chosen when they participate with God by choosing of their own free will to trust in Jesus.
