The concept of calling is deeply rooted in the narrative of Scripture, reflecting both divine initiative and human response. Divine Calling 1. God's Call to Individuals: Throughout the Bible, God calls individuals to fulfill specific purposes. This is evident in the calling of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. For instance, God called Abraham to leave his country and go to a land He would show him (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1</a>). Similarly, Moses was called from the burning bush to lead the Israelites out of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/3-4.htm">Exodus 3:4</a>). The call of the prophet Isaiah is another significant example, where he responds to God's question, "Whom shall I send?" with "Here am I. Send me!" (<a href="/isaiah/6-8.htm">Isaiah 6:8</a>). 2. The Call to Ministry: In the New Testament, Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him, a call that involves both discipleship and mission. "Come, follow Me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men" (<a href="/matthew/4-19.htm">Matthew 4:19</a>). The apostle Paul frequently speaks of his own calling as an apostle, emphasizing that it was by the will of God (<a href="/romans/1.htm">Romans 1:1</a>, <a href="/1_corinthians/1.htm">1 Corinthians 1:1</a>). The Call to Salvation 1. Universal Call: The call to salvation is extended to all people. This is a central theme in the New Testament, where the gospel is presented as an open invitation. Jesus declares, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (<a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28</a>). The apostle Paul reiterates this universal call, stating that God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (<a href="/1_timothy/2-4.htm">1 Timothy 2:4</a>). 2. Effectual Call: While the call to salvation is universal, Scripture also speaks of an effectual call, which is the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing individuals to faith. This is often associated with the doctrine of election, where those whom God has predestined are also called, justified, and glorified (<a href="/romans/8-30.htm">Romans 8:30</a>). The Call to Holiness Believers are called not only to salvation but also to a life of holiness. The apostle Peter exhorts Christians, "But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do" (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15</a>). This call to holiness is a call to live in a manner that reflects the character of God, set apart from the world and dedicated to His purposes. The Call to Suffer The New Testament also speaks of a call to suffer for the sake of Christ. The apostle Paul writes, "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him" (<a href="/philippians/1-29.htm">Philippians 1:29</a>). This aspect of calling underscores the cost of discipleship and the reality of persecution in the Christian life. The Call to Eternal Glory Finally, the call of God culminates in the promise of eternal glory. Believers are called to an eternal inheritance, as Peter writes, "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away" (<a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm">1 Peter 5:4</a>). This future hope is a central motivation for perseverance in the Christian life. In summary, the biblical concept of "call" is multifaceted, encompassing God's sovereign initiative in salvation, the invitation to a life of holiness, the reality of suffering for Christ, and the promise of eternal glory. Each aspect of calling reflects the overarching narrative of God's redemptive work in history and His ongoing relationship with His people.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.) To cry for help, hence to pray (<a href="/genesis/4-26.htm">Genesis 4:26</a>). Thus men are said to "call upon the name of the Lord" (<a href="/acts/2-21.htm">Acts 2:21</a>; <a href="/acts/7-59.htm">7:59</a>; <a href="/acts/9-14.htm">9:14</a>; <a href="/romans/10-12.htm">Romans 10:12</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/1-2.htm">1 Corinthians 1:2</a>).(2.) God calls with respect to men when he designates them to some special office (<a href="/exodus/31-2.htm">Exodus 31:2</a>; <a href="/isaiah/22-20.htm">Isaiah 22:20</a>; <a href="/acts/13-2.htm">Acts 13:2</a>), and when he invites them to accept his offered grace (<a href="/matthew/9-13.htm">Matthew 9:13</a>; <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">11:28</a>; <a href="/matthew/22-4.htm">22:4</a>).In the message of the gospel his call is addressed to all men, to Jews and Gentiles alike (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>; <a href="/mark/16-15.htm">Mark 16:15</a>; <a href="/romans/9-24.htm">Romans 9:24</a>, 25). But this universal call is not inseparably connected with salvation, although it leaves all to whom it comes inexcusable if they reject it (<a href="/john/3-14.htm">John 3:14</a>-19; <a href="/matthew/22-14.htm">Matthew 22:14</a>).An effectual call is something more than the outward message of the Word of God to men. It is internal, and is the result of the enlightening and sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/john/16-14.htm">John 16:14</a>; <a href="/acts/26-18.htm">Acts 26:18</a>; <a href="/john/6-44.htm">John 6:44</a>), effectually drawing men to Christ, and disposing and enabling them to receive the truth (<a href="/john/6-45.htm">John 6:45</a>; <a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>; <a href="/ephesians/1-17.htm">Ephesians 1:17</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
