How does God call sinners to Himself?

Answered in 2 sources

God calls sinners to Himself through the gospel, using His Holy Spirit to draw them to Christ's saving grace.

God's call to sinners is a work of His grace through the proclamation of the gospel. Romans 10:14-15 illustrates this process, stating that individuals must hear the gospel preached in order to believe it. The role of the Holy Spirit is crucial, as He convicts the sinner of their sin and reveals the sufficiency of Christ's righteousness. As demonstrated in the story of Mephibosheth, God seeks out the lost and broken, and through His sovereign will, He brings them to Himself, ensuring that none whom He calls will be turned away (John 6:37). The effectual call often meets the sinner in their deepest need, awakening them to their inability and need for a Savior.
