What does the Bible say about calling and election?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that calling and election are essential truths of God's sovereign grace, emphasizing that God elects individuals for salvation and calls them to faith.

In 2 Peter 1:10, the Apostle Peter urges believers to make their calling and election sure, highlighting the importance of understanding that while calling and election are distinct, they are closely related—those whom God calls are the elect, and only the elect are called. The Bible illustrates God's sovereignty in election, as demonstrated in Romans 9:11, where God's purpose in election stands not based on human merit or works but on His sovereign choice. This assurance of election empowers believers to confidently rise above their circumstances, knowing they are chosen by God and called to salvation.
