What does the Bible say about Samuel's calling?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that God called Samuel by grace before he even knew the Lord, demonstrating God's sovereign election.

In 1 Samuel 3, we see that Samuel was serving the Lord even before he had a personal relationship with Him. This reflects the truth of God's sovereign election and calling. Just as Samuel was chosen by God before he came to knowledge of Him, so believers today are elected by God's grace before they exercise faith. God's calling is an act of grace that happens irrespective of our understanding or actions, as highlighted in Romans 8:28-30, emphasizing that those He calls are His elect.
