What is the significance of God's calling in a believer's life?

Answered in 1 source

God's calling signifies His sovereign grace that brings believers out of darkness, requiring them to live a life of holiness.

The calling of God is pivotal in a believer's life as it demonstrates His sovereign choice and grace. This calling requires that believers recognize their new identity in Christ and embrace their responsibilities as followers of Him. According to 2 Thessalonians 1:11, Paul prayed that these believers would count themselves worthy of their calling, which involves living in holiness and fulfilling God's good pleasure. Embracing this calling instills a sense of purpose and direction, prompting Christians to reflect God's character in their conduct and to actively seek to glorify Him in all aspects of their lives.
