How do we know that Christ brings us to Himself?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ brings us to Himself because Scripture teaches that we cannot come to Him unless He draws us first (John 6:44).

The assurance that Christ brings believers to Himself is rooted in biblical teaching, particularly in the Gospel of John. In John 6:44, it is explicitly stated that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them in. This act of drawing reflects the sovereign grace of God, indicating that it is not through our own merits or will that we approach Christ, but through His initiative and grace. The metaphor of Christ fetching or bringing believers to His banqueting house encapsulates this process, showing that divine action precedes our response. This underscores the Reformed understanding of total depravity; since we were spiritually dead in our sins (Ephesians 2:1), we rely entirely on Christ's work to bring us to salvation and fellowship with Him.
