What does the Bible say about being partakers of the heavenly calling?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes believers as partakers of the heavenly calling, indicating their divine election and transformative experience through the grace of God.

In Hebrews 3:1, believers are referred to as 'holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling.' This phrase underscores the divine nature of their calling, which is not of their own effort but a result of God's sovereign election. Romans 8:28 elaborates that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose. This calling signifies a transformation from spiritual death to life, illustrating the profound change that occurs when one responds to the internal, effectual call of God. Believers are thus not only called out of darkness but into a relationship with Christ, who enables them to manifest their new identity in Him.
