How does the Holy Spirit call sinners to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit irresistibly calls sinners to Christ, enabling them to respond in faith.

According to Scripture, the Holy Spirit's call is powerful and irresistible, bringing the dead to life through the gospel. Psalm 110:3 highlights that 'thy people shall be willing in a day of thy power,' affirming the Spirit's role in regenerating hearts. When God the Holy Spirit calls a sinner to Christ, it is not a mere invitation but an effective summons that results in faith and repentance, much like how Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb in John 11. This illustrates that the divine call is not subject to human resistance but is grounded in God's sovereign will to save His elect.
