Below
are the verses that describe how Christians are called and chosen of God.
God's called/elect/chosen:
Romans 8:29-30
"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to
the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren;
[30] and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called,
these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."
Romans 8:33-34
[33] "Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one
who justifies; [34] who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who
died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who
also intercedes for us."
1 Corinthians 1:2, 9, 30
[2] "to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have
been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every
place call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;"
[9] "God is
faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord."
[30] "But by
His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God,
and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,"
Ephesian 1:4
"just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and blameless before Him."
2 Cor. 1:21,22
[21] "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed
us is God, [22] who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts
as a pledge."
