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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible defines partakers of the heavenly calling as those chosen by God and sharing in His redemptive purpose.

In Hebrews 3:1, believers are described as 'holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling.' This title signifies that those called by God are set apart for a purpose, sharing in the eternal plan of redemption. The phrase 'partakers' literally means 'sharers,' indicating that believers participate in God's grace and calling. This heavenly calling is truly effectual, leading to salvation through the understanding and belief in the gospel as emphasized in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, where it is stated that the chosen are called through the gospel to the glory of Christ.
