What does it mean to hear the call of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Hearing the call of Christ means responding to His grace with faith, enabled by the Holy Spirit.

To hear the call of Christ is to be spiritually awakened by God's grace, leading a sinner to respond in faith. In John 11, when Jesus calls Lazarus by name, it exemplifies how the call of Christ transcends mere auditory acknowledgment; it stirs the dead to life. This divine call is not dependent on the sinner’s ability but is a demonstration of God’s powerful grace. As believers respond, they recognize their utter dependence on Christ for spiritual life, illustrating that true hearing involves both understanding and responding to the Savior's voice (Romans 10:17). Essentially, when Christ calls, He does so effectually, drawing His people to Himself.
