The terms “call” and “call out” usually mean to speak loudly, but the term “call” can also mean to name or summon a person. There are also some other meanings.
* Often in the Bible, “call” has a meaning of “summon” or “command to come” or “request to come.”
* God calls people to come to him and be his people. This is their “calling.”
* When God “calls” people, it means that God has appointed or chosen people to be his children, to be his servants and proclaimers of his message of salvation through Jesus.
* When the Bible says that God has “called” us to be his servants, this could be translated as “specially chose us” or “appointed us” to be his servants.
* “You must call his name” can also be translated as “you must name him.”
* “His name is called” could also be translated as “his name is” or “he is named.”
* To “call out” could be translated as “say loudly” or “shout” or “say with a loud voice.” Make sure the translation of this does not sound like the person is angry.
