How does God call us to Himself?

Answered in 1 source

God calls us to Himself through the gospel, awakening our spiritual senses to recognize our need for Christ.

The calling of God is effectively portrayed in the New Testament, specifically through the power of the gospel. In Galatians 1:15-16, Paul cites that it was God's grace that called him through the revelation of Jesus Christ. This calling is intertwined with regeneration, where the Holy Spirit actively transforms the believer's heart, leading to genuine repentance and faith. The gospel reveals our total inability to save ourselves, granting a clear understanding of our spiritual bankruptcy, while simultaneously unveiling the sufficiency of Christ as the source of salvation. This divine calling not only initiates our relationship with Christ but also continually upholds and secures it.
