priests, 13 at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining
around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a
voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It
is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus,
whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this

What does the Old Testament say on the matter of Effectual Calling ???


Ezekiel 11:19 (NKJV)
           w                                       x                   5               y

Definition (G.I. Williams, The Westminster Shorter Catechism – For Study Classes): Conversion may
be defined as a complete revolution in the mind (or heart, or soul) of man, whereby a sinner turns from
all self-esteem and confidence [I like that part] to trust in Christ alone for salvation.



                          REPENTANCE                                      FAITH

                      2) He must have a heart
                      that is broken because                     2) He must have a
                      of his sin.                                heartfelt sense of his

                      3) He must turn from the
                      ways of sin and death.                     3) He must turn to Christ
                                                                 and rely upon Him alone

John 1:12 (NKJV)

12 But qas many as received Him, to them He gave the 5right to become children of God, to those who
believe in His name: 12


Then Peter defending God's Grace ...

Acts 11:17-18 (NKJV)

     17 lIf therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus
        m
Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?”
   18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, n“Then God
has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
13

        Note: From the previous scripture, it is interesting to see that even our repentance comes from
        God.

Acts 2:36-38 (NKJV)

   36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
   37 Now when they heard this, hthey were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
   38 Then Peter said to them, i“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus
               2
Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 9 Now I rejoice, not that you
were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner,
                                                      n
that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to
                                o
salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For observe this very
                                                                                     p
thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of
yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all
                                     q
things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12 Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not
                                                                                                r
do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that
our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

       & the prophet Ezekiel Speaking of the Renewal of Israel ....

                         and accepteth us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ
                                                              imputed to us, and received by faith alone.

              we did not realize) and do immediately pass into glory, and their bodies, being still united

                               Definition: ... the physical body which is laid in the grave and rots away
                              will one day rise again to stand upon the earth. Lit. - “to stand up again.”

                                    What benefits do believers receive from Christ at the resurrection ?

                                  At the resurrection, believers being raised up in glory, shall be openly
                               acknowledged and acquitted in the day of judgment, and made perfectly
                                                        blessed in the full enjoying of God to all eternity.

John 5:24-30 (KJV)

    24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is
the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father

1 Corinthians 15:42-45 (NKJV)

    42 sSo also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in
