Romans 1:6
among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
The Romans are among those mentioned in verse 5 that the apostles were commissioned to tell about Jesus. They became believers when they heard because Jesus personally “called” them to Himself.
Jesus initiates salvation by calling or inviting us to believe on Him. If He did not initiate the process, we never would. Once He gets our attention, we are responsible to believe on Him, His crucifiction and resurrection, to save us from our sins. This in one call we really need to answer.
