What does it mean to be 'called' in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'called' refers to the divine invitation to come to Christ for salvation.

In the context of salvation, being 'called' involves both the general invitation to the gospel and the specific effectual call by which God brings His elect to faith in Christ. Romans 8:30 highlights this process: 'Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called.' This calling is both a summons to believe and a powerful act of the Holy Spirit that enables the individual to respond in faith. It reassures us that God actively engages in the salvation of His chosen ones, ensuring that they will ultimately come to Him.
