How does God make His people willing to come to Him?

The process by which God makes His people willing is rooted in the work of the Holy Spirit, who transforms hearts and minds. As stated in Scripture, those whom God calls are not only justified but also converted, indicating a profound internal change. Genesis 24 illustrates this divine initiative as Rebecca willingly goes with Eleazar, paralleling how the Holy Spirit compels the elect to embrace Christ in faith. This willingness is seen as a gift from God, highlighting the importance of the Spirit's work in drawing sinners to Christ, making them responsive to the gospel and enabling them to believe. Thus, the Reformed perspective affirms that true willingness to follow Christ comes only as God regenerates and empowers the elect through His grace.
