How do we know that God calls us according to His purpose?

Answered in 1 source

We know God calls us according to His purpose because Scripture reveals that our calling is based on His eternal plan, not our actions (Romans 8:29-30).

God's call to salvation is described as being according to His eternal purpose, as expressed in Romans 8:29-30. Unlike a mere invitation, it is an effectual call that guarantees the salvation of those whom He has chosen. This calling is not based on human merit or foreseen faith but is rooted in God’s unchanging plan formed before the foundation of the world. The idea of calling according to purpose emphasizes God's sovereignty and initiative in salvation, affirming that it is God who draws His people to Himself and ensures their redemption.
