How do we know that God's pursuit of us is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's pursuit of his people is evidenced throughout Scripture, revealing His initiative in drawing us to Himself.

The doctrine of divine initiative emphasizes that no one can come to God unless He first draws them. Scriptures like John 6:44 confirm that the Father must draw individuals to Christ. This pursuit is not merely an abstract concept; it is a continual process as seen in the lives of biblical figures like Lydia (Acts 16:14) and Moses, whom God moved towards His purposes. This divine pursuit reflects God's character, showcasing His love and commitment to bring His chosen ones into a relationship with Him. The consistent testimony of Scripture points towards God's relentless efforts and sovereignty in accomplishing His will, confirming that our inclinations towards God are rooted in His initiative rather than our own desires.
