Chosen to Serve: Why Divine Election Is to Service, Not to Eternal Life

Most people assume that God has chosen individuals to have everlasting life. They might disagree on whom God has chosen, and why He has chosen them, but they agree that is what the doctrine of election is about. But where is that idea taught in the Bible? Where does the Bible say God chooses individuals for eternal life or eternal death? In Chosen to Serve, Shawn Lazar examines the Biblical evidence and comes to a surprising conclusion: election is vocational. God chooses people, places, and things for service and reward, not for eternal life. If you have ever struggled with the issue of divine election, this book is for you.
