"Is a wicked man, a man not yet called, able to resist and keep off his own call? And that you may understand the answer hereto, I must lay down this distinction: There is a twofold calling of Christ - a significative calling, which is such a calling whereby Christ, in the ministry of His Word, signifies and declares what He would have men do. Now this kind of call wicked men may resistŠ But, second, there is an operative calling, and that is such a call whereby God not only signifies to a man what he must do, but with the signification of His will gives a man power to do what He calls them to do, accompanying the Word with His Spirit, making the heart stoop and yield to Jesus Christ." - Christopher Love,  A Treatise of Effectual Calling and Election (emphases added)

Puritan Book Reviews - A Treatise of Effectual Calling and Election, Reviewed by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon (at A Puritan's Mind)

"A classic among books on election and conversion. How does election really work? What is the Spirit's role in converting the human soul? The assurance of salvation is part of every Christian's arsenal against doubt and fear of death. But the attainment of any degree of assurance does not come easily. In this treatise, Christopher Love shows the Christian how they may come to have a degree of assurance, to cultivate it, and to cause it to grow through God's Spirit. ... He covers such aspects of the doctrine as "God's method with those He calls" (which is very valuable), "The Cases of Conscience Concerning Men not Effectually Called," "When Love for God's People May Prove Effectual Calling," "Helps to obtaining Assurance," "A Series of Objections and Answers to the stated doctrine," and six saving effects of being elect. If you are lacking assurance, doubting or locked in some form of Giant Despair's Doubting Castle and dungeon, then Love's treatise will warm your heart and stir your mind to contemplate the truth of your calling in Christ; if you are elect." - Dr. Matthew McMahon
