How do we know God calls us according to His purpose?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are called according to His purpose because we respond to His call by calling on the name of the Lord.

The calling of God is not just a general invitation; it is a specific act of divine grace that compels individuals to respond to Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:9, Paul states that God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son. When God calls someone, it results in a response that acknowledges Christ as Lord. This response manifests as faith and a desire to call upon His name, revealing the truth that those who are called will naturally identify with Christ and His redemptive work. Therefore, the evidence of calling is the active belief and acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord.
