How does God's drawing work in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's drawing in salvation is a gracious act that inclines sinners' hearts toward Christ, allowing them to believe willingly.

The work of God's drawing in salvation is a profound and essential aspect of sovereign grace. According to John 6:44, it is through divine action that individuals are drawn to Christ. This drawing is not a coercive act but rather a gracious influence on the heart and mind of the sinner. As articulated in the sermon, this process involves the Holy Spirit creating a new inclination within the individual, causing them to desire Christ and enabling them to believe. This aligns perfectly with the Reformed understanding that while we possess free will, that will is bound by sin until God intervenes, creating new desires and the ability to turn to Him in faith.
