What does the Bible say about being counted worthy of God's calling?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we are counted worthy of God's calling through His grace and effectual calling, not our own works.

In 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, Paul expresses a prayer that God would count the believers worthy of His calling. This worthiness is not based on human effort but on God's sovereign grace and calling. Effectual calling refers to God actively calling His chosen ones from death to life, granting them faith and repentance. It's essential to understand that we cannot contribute to our worthiness; it is solely by God's grace that we are justified and declared righteous in Christ.
