How does God's call relate to His grace?

Answered in 1 source

God's call is an effective grace that draws His people to salvation, transforming their hearts and leading them into His kingdom.

The call of God is an intrinsic aspect of the true grace of God, distinguishing it from mere outward invitations to faith. In 1 Peter 5:10, the Apostle Peter speaks of 'the God of all grace who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus.' This call is effectual, meaning it results in genuine transformation and response from those it reaches. The Scriptures affirm that God's call is accompanied by His power; it brings about a new creation in the believer that aligns with His will and purpose. This is highlighted in Romans 8:30, where those He called, He also justified, securing their salvation. Effectual calling is essential because it correlates with the broader execution of God's grace in salvation, illustrating not just an offer of salvation but a divine orchestration that guarantees that His chosen will come to faith and repentance.
