God draws us to Himself through the preaching of the Gospel, enabled by the Holy Spirit to understand and believe the truth.
God draws individuals to Himself by using the Gospel as a means through which the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of the elect. As indicated in John 6:44, no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them. This divine drawing is facilitated through preaching that communicates the truth of Christ and His work. The work of the Spirit, which accompanies the hearing of the Gospel, transforms us from being spiritually dead to being alive in Christ, enabling us to respond in faith. Thus, the preaching of the Gospel, empowered by God, is central to the calling of the elect and their coming to a saving knowledge of Him.
