What is the significance of being called in relation to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being called signifies that one is chosen by God to receive salvation through Christ and experience His power and wisdom.

In 1 Corinthians 1:24, those who are called—both Jews and Greeks—experience Christ as the power and wisdom of God. This calling is part of God's sovereign grace, indicating that before the foundation of the world, certain individuals were chosen to be saved. Being called means that God has intervened in their lives, opening their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and granting them the gift of faith. This unique relationship with Christ transforms their understanding, enabling them to appreciate the depth of His sacrifice and the hope of salvation. Consequently, believers recognize that their salvation is not through their works but through God's grace alone.
