What does it mean to be called by God's grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Being called by God's grace means that individuals are drawn to believe in Christ due to His sovereign and unmerited favor (2 Timothy 1:9).

The calling of God is a crucial aspect of the doctrine of grace. According to 2 Timothy 1:9, God 'has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace.' This calling is an effectual work of the Holy Spirit, awakening the hearts of the elect to respond to the Gospel. It is not based on human merit or decision, but entirely upon God's sovereign will and purpose. This grace-filled calling assures believers that their faith is not a product of their own wisdom or actions but a result of God's divine initiative in their lives.
