How does one experience God's calling in the context of redemption?

Experiencing God's calling is a profound work of grace in the life of an individual who recognizes their sinful state and the necessity of a Savior. It is through the Holy Spirit that one is made aware of their sin and led to genuinely seek Christ for redemption. This calling is highlighted in 2 Timothy 1:9, which states that God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace. The experience of calling often includes a deep sense of spiritual awakening, a desire for Christ, and ultimately results in a profession of faith, publicly declaring one’s relationship with Him. As believers respond to this calling, they begin their journey of sanctification and assurance in redemption.
