What does it mean to be called as God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

To be called as God's elect means experiencing the irresistible call of the Holy Spirit that brings a person from spiritual death to life.

Being called as God's elect signifies the moment when the Holy Spirit, through God's appointed means, irresistibly awakens a sinner's heart to respond to the Gospel. This calling is described as the 'effectual call' whereby the Spirit brings about belief in Christ and regeneration simultaneously, reflected in Ephesians 1:13-14, which emphasizes belief and sealing with the Holy Spirit. It is an act where God grants us spiritual life, enabling us to acknowledge our sinfulness and embrace Jesus as Lord and Savior. Therefore, this calling is not merely an invitation but a divine summons accompanied by the power of God, demonstrating His sovereignty in the salvation process, ensuring that those who are called will indeed respond and be saved.
