How do we know that God calls His people to Himself?

Answered in 2 sources

God calls His people through the preaching of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit's work in their hearts, drawing them to Christ.

The means by which God calls His people to Himself involve both the proclamation of the Gospel and the internal work of the Holy Spirit. As John 6:44 states, 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.' This divine allure includes the faithful preaching of God's Word, where the truth of the Gospel is presented with power and assurance. In Hosea 2:14, God promises to allure His people: 'Therefore, behold, I will allure her.' This illustrates His proactive grace in drawing sinners out of their rebellion and into His mercy, demonstrating that salvation is wholly a work of grace.
