What does it mean that we must call upon the name of the Lord to be saved?

Answered in 1 source

To call upon the name of the Lord means to seek Him in sincere faith for salvation (Romans 10:13).

Calling upon the name of the Lord implies a deep act of faith and reliance on Jesus as the source of salvation. Romans 10:13 states that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' This means not only uttering His name but sincerely recognizing one’s need for Him and seeking His mercy. It reflects an acknowledgment of our sinful state and a cry for help to the only One who can save us. Moreover, this act of calling involves both repentance and faith—turning away from sin and entrusting oneself completely to Christ. Thus, calling upon the Lord is both a personal and communal act of worship that signifies a transformation of the heart empowered by the Holy Spirit.
