How do we know God's call is true?

Answered in 5 sources

God's call is assured by His eternal purpose and the believer's preservation in Christ until they are united with Him.

The certainty of God's call stems from His eternal decree, which is unchangeable and sovereign. According to Jude 1, God's people are not only called but also loved and kept by Jesus Christ. This call is significant as it secures their fate and guarantees that nothing can thwart God’s plans for them. As they navigate life’s trials, their eternal connection to Christ ensures that they will persevere until the time of their vital union with Him is realized. It is this assurance that bolsters the believer's faith and trust in God's promises.
