How does God draw people to Himself?

In John 12:32, Jesus promises, 'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.' This drawing is not a passive invitation; rather, it signifies an irresistible call of the Holy Spirit that produces faith and repentance. The Greek term for 'draw' can also mean 'to drag,' implying that God's grace overcomes all resistance. As the Spirit opens the eyes and hearts of individuals, they respond to the Gospel message, recognizing their need for a Savior. This process reflects the interplay of divine sovereignty and human responsiveness, where those whom God calls will surely come and be saved (Hebrews 6:18).
