Q.67. What is effectual calling?

A. Effectual calling is the work of God’s almighty power and grace,[1] by which he (freely motivated only by his special love for the elect and not from anything inherently in them)[2] at the right time invites and draws them to Jesus Christ by his word and Spirit.[3] God enlightens their minds with a saving understanding,[4] renews their wills[5] and by his power makes them (even though they are dead in sin) willing and able to answer his call voluntarily and to accept gladly the grace he offers and actually gives.[6]
