Jesus draws us to Himself through His powerful love and the finished work on the cross, as affirmed in Scripture.
We know that Jesus draws us to Himself because Scripture consistently supports this truth. In John 12:32, Jesus declares, 'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto me.' This promise illustrates His intent to allure His people toward Him through His crucifixion and the grace that flows from it. The act of being lifted up signifies not only His suffering but also His glory, making it possible for those far off (Ephesians 2:13) to be brought near by His blood. Furthermore, passages like Hosea 2:14 show God’s desire to restore and comfort His people, reflecting His drawing nature. The power of His love compels believers to worship in response to His finished work.
