How does God's power influence our willingness to return to Him?

Answered in 1 source

God's power compels our willing response to return to Him as illustrated in Psalm 110:3.

The divine influence of God's power is crucial in understanding how we come to faith and repentance. Psalm 110:3 states, 'Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power,' illustrating that it is only through God’s sovereign grace and power that we are enabled to willingly turn to Him. In the story of the prodigal son, his journey home symbolizes our own struggles and the vital role of God in transforming our hearts. It is not through our own efforts that we decide to return but rather God's work in us that awakens a true desire for reconciliation. The truth of God's calling reinforces the historic Reformed belief that our response is a result of His initial grace and power, leading us to repentance and faith.
