How do we know that God's call is based on grace?

Answered in 1 source

God's call is based on grace as He chose Abraham, who was an idolater, demonstrating that salvation is not earned but given freely.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that Abraham was living in sin and idolatry when God called him. This illustrates that God's sovereign grace is not contingent upon human actions or righteousness. The calling of Abraham shows that God chooses whom He wills and calls sinners to Himself based on His grace alone. Romans 5:8 encapsulates this idea, stating that God commends His love toward us even when we were yet sinners, reinforcing the truth that grace is foundational to our relationship with God. Therefore, Abraham's call is a model of how God works in the lives of the unworthy, calling them to faith.
