How few are the "few"?

It’s not in man to direct his footsteps, Who ever God has chosen will not fail. I know what you mean about not holding out till the end but also what choice do we have?
I could be wrong but when I think of our will being subjected to God’s will I have a feeling everything was already planed out from before the foundations of the world and we are simply living out what God has declared.
But it does seem good to say there is much wisdom in learning righteousness now as you know we are all going to have to learn righteousness anyways, so I think having a head start is a good thing.
But how many are the few, well if I don’t make it, will not the number of the few remain the same, I think so. :-\
In God’s love. Richard.

I think when God says few, I think he means it. As for myself, im striving for the 1st resurrection, but at this point in time it's a long shot......... Real Long.
Love in Christ

Longhorn and Alex, I agree it is a long shot, but with God it is not impossible. We just need to keep in the race. I belive he is able to keep us there cause it really all depends on him, but we still have to stay in it. What I believe keeps us in it is praying at all times. Wanting to know him more and more. We have to be like Jesus dependent on him. Cause in all reality it is all his decision to choose who he wants.
In His Love

Hi, I did some grade 4 math work on this and YIKES!! I will never make it. 144,000 from 12 tribes, 12,000 from each tribe. If you take 6,000,000,000 people on earth divided by 12 = 500,000,000 per tribe. Looks to me like the odds are not to good for this if the few are :- from the 144,000.
Bless you all Ricky :-[

Look you guy are all messed up, the JWs already have the 144,000 taken by them.
Sorry, not to be flippant but i have a problem with figuring this one out at all, we
Believers are Called out of Babylon By God. Jesus Does The Work In us and On us
so what are we doing to be Chosen.
