What does the Bible say about God's calling of the apostles?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God personally called the apostles, indicating His sovereign choice.

In Mark 3:13-19, we see Jesus going up into a mountain and calling whom He would, demonstrating that the selection of the apostles was an act of divine sovereignty. They did not choose this role for themselves; rather, they were called by Christ to be with Him, preach the gospel, and witness His works. This calling exemplifies God's initiative in salvation and the ministry, underscoring the belief that ministry rests on God's power and purpose, not human ambition.
