How do we know that God's grace compels us to believe?

Answered in 2 sources

We know God's grace compels belief because He makes our hearts willing to follow Him, as illustrated through the example of Simon of Cyrene.

God's grace is the irresistible force that compels sinners to believe in Him. In the sermon, Don Fortner emphasizes that no one will ever come to Christ unless they are made willing by God's grace. The experience of Simon carrying the cross demonstrates how God's sovereign will uses even unlikely individuals to accomplish His purposes. This compelling grace is highlighted in John 12:32, where Jesus speaks of drawing all men to Himself. By revealing Himself to our hearts, God instills a desire to follow Him, illustrating the truth that salvation is entirely a work of grace—not of human effort or decision.
