God's calling is true because it is affirmed by His eternal purpose and grace, independent of our works (2 Timothy 1:9; Romans 8:28).
The authenticity of God's calling is grounded in His sovereign purpose and grace. Paul highlights in 2 Timothy 1:9 that God called us according to His purpose, which means that our calling is part of God's eternal plan. Furthermore, Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good to those who are the called according to His purpose. This reinforces the truth that God's calling is real and effective, bringing those who are chosen, His elect, into a relationship with Him that is securely anchored in His will.
