God's calling of His people is clear in scripture, demonstrated through His promises to Abraham and the elect.
In Isaiah 51:2, God reminds His people to look back to Abraham, saying, 'I called him alone and blessed him and increased him.' This serves as a foundation for understanding that God's call is not just a historical event but a continuous process. The same God who called Abraham also calls each believer to himself. This calling is vital not just for our individual faith but aligns with God's overall redemptive plan. Throughout scripture, especially in the New Testament, we see God's sovereignty in calling His people to salvation, ensuring that none will be lost.
