Called by God

He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

For many are called, but few are chosen.”

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. …

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
