Why is calling upon the name of the Lord essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Calling upon the name of the Lord is essential because it signifies genuine faith and reliance on God for salvation.

Calling upon the name of the Lord is foundational to Christian faith, as evidenced by Romans 10:13, which states that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' This act of calling reflects an acknowledgment of one's need for God's mercy and salvation. True calling entails a sincere belief in the heart, confirmed through hearing the Gospel message (Romans 10:14-15). It is a response driven by faith—a belief that God is faithful to His promises and able to save. This is why the act of calling is vital; it signifies our reliance on God and our submission to His authority in matters of salvation.
