How do we know that God draws us to Him?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that no one can come to Christ unless drawn by the Father, affirming God's sovereign role in salvation.

In John 6:44, Jesus states, "No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me, draw him." This underscores the truth that our ability to seek Christ is rooted in God’s sovereign grace. Before we are drawn, we are spiritually dead in our sins, exhibiting no desire for God or His gospel. Yet, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God transforms our hearts, making us willing to seek Him. This act of drawing is not just a one-time event; it is a continuous work in the life of a believer, who finds themselves consistently crying out, "Draw me nearer, Lord," as they recognize their ongoing need for God's grace and strength.
