See [[G2821]] (klēsis). - In the NT, [[G2822]] /klētós ("divinely called") focuses on God's general call – i.e. the call (invitation) He gives to all people, so all can receive His salvation. God desires every person to call out to Him and receive His salvation ([[1_Timothy_02|1 Timothy 2.4-5]]). "Unfortunately, many choose not to – but all can; all don't but all can call out to God for His mercy (not just 'some')" (G. Archer).
