How does God call believers to Him?

John 10:3 speaks of how Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, calls His own sheep by name, emphasizing the personal nature of His call. Throughout the Scriptures, God extends invitations to individuals, such as in Matthew 9:6, where Jesus commands the blind man, 'Rise, he calleth thee.' This calling is not a mere generalization; it is specific and personal. This personal relationship is foundational for understanding one's worth and place in God’s family, assuring believers that they are known and loved by God. Responding to this call is crucial as it leads to salvation, fulfillment of purpose, and community in the body of Christ.
