How do we know our calling in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

Our calling in Christ is affirmed by Scripture, which reveals that God chooses and calls His elect based on His sovereign grace.

The assurance of our calling in Christ rests on the truth of Scripture, particularly in 1 Peter and Ephesians. The Bible teaches that believers are called according to God's purpose and grace (2 Timothy 1:9). As highlighted in Romans 8:30, those whom God predestined, He also called, illustrating the divine initiative in our calling. This calling is effectual—it accomplishes what God intends, as supported by passages like Acts 13:48, where it states that 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.' Therefore, our confidence in the validity of our calling comes from God’s unchanging character and purpose.
