How do we know that God calls His people to salvation?
Answered in 1 source
God calls His people to salvation through the preaching of the gospel, which is followed by their belief in the truth.
The Apostle Paul clearly states in 2 Thessalonians 2:14 that God called the Thessalonians by the gospel, indicating that the preaching of God's Word is the means through which He extends His call to salvation. This call is both an invitation and a powerful act where the Holy Spirit enables individuals to respond in faith. The fruit of this calling is seen in those who believe and endure in their faith, confirming their status as chosen ones. This underlines the significance of proclaiming the gospel, as it is through this means that God effectively gathers His elect into His kingdom.
