How does God enable us to come to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God enables us to come to Christ through the effectual calling of the Holy Spirit.

According to sovereign grace theology, the ability to come to Christ is not based on human will or effort but on God's enabling grace. The Holy Spirit's effectual calling brings the dead to life, granting faith as a gift. As highlighted in 1 Corinthians 1:18, the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are called, it is the power of God. This underscores that when God calls His elect, He also equips them with understanding and a willingness to respond to His grace, proving that salvation is entirely of the Lord, from start to finish.
