What does the Bible say about the calling of believers?

The calling experienced by every believer is ultimately a divine revelation from God. As seen in Ezekiel’s encounter, the Lord first shows individuals their bondage to sin, representing their impotence in the face of sin and the need for redemption. Before revealing the remedy through Christ, God makes it clear that one must recognize their unworthiness and need of Him. This revelation is not just a single event but a continued experience through faith, leading believers to bow down in worship and ultimately be lifted up by His grace. As evidenced in Ezekiel 1, seeing the glory of God leads to an awareness of personal sin and the necessity for repentance.
