Why is the concept of being 'called' important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Being 'called' signifies those chosen by God to participate in the marriage supper of the Lamb, a crucial aspect of salvation.

In Revelation 19:9, the blessedness of those 'called' to the marriage supper of the Lamb is a fundamental truth of sovereign grace theology. This calling is not merely an outward invitation; it is an effectual call, initiated by God's irresistible grace, that compels the elect to come. This aspect emphasizes that salvation is not based on human choice but on God’s sovereignty. Those who respond positively to this call are pronounced 'blessed' because their sins are washed away, and they are clothed in Christ's righteousness. This truth underscores the assurance of salvation experienced by the true believer.
