How do we know that Christ sovereignly draws His elect?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture affirms that Christ sovereignly draws His elect through His divine purpose and grace.
In the sermon, it is asserted that even those who are elect are born dead in trespasses and sins, similar to the reprobate. This foundational truth highlights that Christ has chosen a people for Himself before they recognize Him as theirs. The biblical narrative supports this notion of sovereign grace, emphasizing that Christ's call is effectual and personal. Each believer ultimately comes to realize their status as a member of His elect because of Christ's sovereign initiative. This reflects the Reformed doctrine of unconditional election, where God elects individuals to salvation based solely on His will and purpose, not on any merit found in the individual.
