Those who have been called to belong to Christ.

The Book of Romans contains what probably are the strongest statements to be made by Paul—perhaps the strongest statements in all Scripture—concerning Divine foreknowledge, predestination, and calling.
 
A firm grasp on the concept of Divine calling is necessary if the saint is to understand the majesty of God and is to cease from his own works and enter the rest of God.

Divine foreknowledge and election do not, if understood properly, cause passivity or a deadening sense of inevitability in the saint. But the calling of Abraham and the nation of Israel cannot be grasped apart from the concept of Divine election nor can the creation of the Body of Christ.
