How do we know we are called to God's kingdom?

Believers can have confidence in their calling to God's kingdom as it is rooted in God's sovereign choice. In 1 Thessalonians 2:12, Paul emphasizes that God has called His people to His kingdom and glory, which signifies a transformation that occurs at salvation. This calling is evident in the new life and new desires that believers experience, contrasting their former lifestyles. It is not merely a one-time event; it is a continual calling that draws believers closer to God throughout their lives.
