What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in calling individuals?

Scripture consistently emphasizes God's sovereign authority in the calling of His people. In Genesis 41:14, Pharaoh sends for Joseph specifically, illustrating how God calls His elect by name out of the depths of sin. This reflects a central theme of Sovereign Grace theology: that God’s call is effectual and irresistible. John 10:3 shows that Jesus’ sheep hear His voice, and He calls them by name. This divine calling is not a general invitation but a specific summons from God that leads to regeneration and faith!
