How do we know God's elect are called to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's elect are called to salvation through His effectual call, which brings them to repentance and faith.

The assurance that God's elect are called to salvation is rooted in the doctrine of the effectual call, where God's sovereign power actively draws His chosen ones to Himself. Scripture emphasizes that Christ does not attempt to save but succeeds in saving those whom the Father has given Him. In John 10:24-25, Jesus illustrates that His sheep hear His voice and follow Him because they are His. This calling is effectual, resulting in a genuine transformation where the sinner recognizes their need for Christ and turns away from self-righteousness to embrace Him as their only hope.
