This internal call is experienced only by the Elect. The Elect only are caused to obey the call and cooperate with it. This call is put forth by the effectual power of the Holy Spirit acting upon the soul of the elect person, determining and drawing that person, yet in a manner compatible with human nature, so that the person responds most freely, being made willing by the Spirit. The result of this call is a permanent change in the entire moral nature of the person, enlightening the mind, sanctifying the affections, renewing the will and creating new goals. A few words must be said concerning regeneration and conversion.
Regeneration is the effect produced by the Holy Spirit in effectual calling.
Since the unregenerate person is totally disposed to evil, anything positively Holy is impossible except as the consequence of a change. The infusion of such a disposition to do good must precede any act of true spiritual obedience. The soul, then, in conversion, immediately acts under the guidance of this new creation in turning from sin unto God through Christ. Please read it.
