How can I be certain that I am called by God?

Being called by God is evidenced when one acknowledges their need for salvation and comes to Christ in faith. Matthew 11:28 illustrates this divine call: 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' This invitation underscores the distinctive work of the Holy Spirit, who opens our eyes to our sinfulness and our desperate need for Christ's saving grace. This inner recognition of need, combined with a desire to trust in Christ, indicates that you are indeed among those whom God has called.
