67問 什麼是有效的恩召？
王志勇版
三十六．有效的恩召
67問：什麼是有效的恩召？
答：有效的恩召是上帝的大能和恩典的作為（約5:25；弗1:18－20；提後1:8－9），
（1）祂出於對其選民白白和特別的愛，並不是因為他們身上有什麼促使祂行動的東西（多3:4－5；弗2:4－5，7－9；羅9:11）；
（2）在祂所悅納的日子，藉著祂的聖言和聖靈，邀請並吸引他們歸向基督耶穌（林後5:20，比較林後6:1－2；約6:44；帖後 2:13－14）；
（3）救贖性地啟迪他們的心思（徒26:18；林前2:10，12），更新並大有權能地決定他們的意志（結11:19；36:26－27；約6:45），
（4）使得已經死在罪惡之中的他們變得甘心樂意，能夠自由爽快地回應祂的呼召，領受其中所顯明並傳遞的恩 典（弗2:5；腓2:13；申 30:6）。

問：「有效的恩召」是什麼？
答：「有效的恩召」是上帝的全能與恩典的作為，出自祂對選民的白白與特別的愛，並非由於他們身上有任何原因促使祂如此作；在祂悅納的時候，祂以此有效恩召，吸引他們歸向耶穌基督，這是藉著祂的聖道與聖靈所作成的。
