God draws His people to Himself through the irresistible call of the gospel, capturing their hearts and minds by His Spirit.
In biblical theology, God’s drawing of His people is portrayed as an irresistible call, a net that captures them at the appointed time. This concept is supported by passages such as John 6:44, which states that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them. This drawing is not a coercive force but reflects the loving and effective work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the elect, enabling them to respond willingly to His grace. When one of God’s chosen hears the gospel, their response is not one of resistance but of joyful acceptance, as they come to recognize the beauty of Christ and the redemption He offers.
