Understanding God's Sovereign Call

The concept of calling is central to understanding God's sovereign grace as presented in the discussion. It distinguishes between general, gospel, and effectual calls, emphasizing that the general call is a broad invitation through creation itself, as described in Scripture. For instance, Psalm 19 illustrates how the heavens declare God's glory, prompting humanity to engage with Him, while the gospel call directly invites individuals to respond to Jesus as Savior and Lord. The gospel call, however, requires the Holy Spirit's enabling work to make it effective, as people are spiritually dead and unable to respond without divine intervention.
