Why is calling on the name of the Lord important?

Answered in 2 sources

Calling on the name of the Lord is essential for salvation and expresses our reliance on His attributes.

Calling on the name of the Lord is crucial because it signifies a plea for divine mercy and acknowledges our dependence on Him for salvation. This call is not merely about uttering a name; it is an invocation of God's character and attributes, including His mercy, justice, and power. As illustrated by various biblical examples, true calling often arises from a genuine understanding of one's sinfulness and need for redemption. When we call upon Him, we are trusting in His ability and willingness to save us.
