How do we know that God calls us first?

Answered in 1 source

God calls His people first before they can call on Him, as laid out in scripture (Romans 8:30).

The sovereignty of God's grace is evident in the doctrine of calling, which asserts that God initiates the relationship with His people. As seen in Romans 8:30, it states, 'Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called.' This signifies that we are incapable of calling on God unless He first calls us. The biblical narrative showcases this truth across various characters, such as Abraham and Jacob, who were chosen and called by God, demonstrating His initiative in the salvation process.
