How does God call His people according to this sermon?

Answered in 1 source

God calls His people through the preaching of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.

The call of God to His people occurs through the means of the preached Gospel, as evidenced in the ministry of Christ and later emphasized by the apostles. Luke 5 illustrates God's calling of Simon Peter, where through a miraculous catch of fish, Peter recognizes both his sinfulness and Christ’s divine authority. This calling is not arbitrary; it is grounded in God’s sovereign purpose and the work of the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 13:48, where those ordained for eternal life believed the word preached. The dual mechanisms of preaching and the Spirit's work ensure that God’s elect are effectively called and brought to faith, emphasizing the essential partnership between divine sovereignty and the human responsibility to proclaim the Gospel.
