How does grace enable us to seek God?

Answered in 1 source

Grace enables us to seek God by drawing us to Him and awakening a desire for Him in our hearts.

John 6:44 clearly states, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This highlights the necessity of God's grace in the seeking process. It is through His sovereign work that our hearts are softened, making us aware of our need for mercy. Sovereign grace teaches us that we are unable to seek God on our own due to our sinful nature. Only by the Spirit's awakening can we respond to the call, inclining our ear to Him as mentioned in Isaiah 55:3. Thus, the seeking is not our achievement; rather, it is God's gracious initiative in drawing and enabling us to come to Him.
