How do we know that God calls certain people to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereign election and calling ensure that those chosen will be drawn to Christ.

The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that God elects certain individuals to salvation, meaning that at the appointed time, these chosen sinners will be called and drawn to Christ. This is not based on their worthiness but rather on God's mercy and grace. The sermon illustrates that every soul who comes to Christ does so because they have been divinely drawn by the Father. This calling is evidenced by an inward desire to seek healing and salvation in Christ, demonstrating that it is solely the work of God – from election to the revelation of truth in the individual's heart. As the sermon asserts, when a sinner acknowledges their wretchedness and the need for Christ, it signifies that God's sovereign grace is at work in drawing them to salvation.
