In this episode of our series on John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied, Nate Shannon and Paul Woo explore the doctrine of effectual calling and its place in the application of redemption. What distinguishes the universal call of the gospel from God's effectual call to salvation? Why does Murray insist that calling is a sovereign act of God, and how does this preserve both the grace of God and the freedom of the believer? Along the way, the discussion touches on the order of salvation, union with Christ, the Father’s role in effectual calling, the relationship between calling and regeneration, and the biblical foundation for evangelism in Reformed theology. As Murray reminds us, the application of redemption begins with God's powerful summons, bringing sinners into fellowship with Christ and all the saving benefits found in him alone.
