How do we know that God calls His people?

Answered in 8 sources

Scripture affirms that all whom the Father has given to the Son will come, ensuring that those elected by God's grace will respond to His call.

The assurance of God's calling can be found in John 6:37, where Jesus states, 'All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me.' This emphasizes the certainty of God’s sovereign grace; all who have been chosen by the Father will inevitably respond to His call. It is not by human effort or will that one comes to Christ, but by the divine initiative of God. The promise reassures believers that they are not trying to come to God on their own, but rather, they are drawn by the Father to the Son. This certainty is foundational to the doctrine of election in Reformed theology, affirming that God's purpose will prevail according to His will.
