'Called to approach God' means that God invites and enables those He chooses to come into His presence through Christ.
To be 'called to approach God' signifies that God not only elects individuals but actively invites them into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. This is clearly articulated in Psalm 65:4, which states that those chosen by God are blessed to come into His courts. Hebrews 10:19-22 further develops this concept, illustrating how Christ's sacrifice has opened a way for believers to draw near to God with confidence. This calling is not just an invitation; it also encompasses the enabling grace of God that makes it possible for individuals to respond positively. True satisfaction comes only through this approach, as believers find their fulfillment in Christ, who is the essence of their worship and acceptance before God.
