How does God call His people to Himself?

Answered in 1 source

God calls His people through the preaching of the gospel, which conveys His mercy and grace.

According to Reformed theology, God calls His elect through the preaching of the gospel, a process illustrated in Jeremiah 3:14 and revealed in the ministry of John the Baptist. He calls one from a city and two from a family to bring them to Himself. This divine call is not merely an invitation but a powerful work of God, whereby His Spirit convicts and transforms the heart of the sinner, enabling them to respond in faith. Paul also emphasizes this in 2 Corinthians 5:20, where believers are depicted as ambassadors for Christ. This means that the message they proclaim is the very call of God, reconciling sinners to Himself through Christ's finished work.
