How does the Holy Spirit work in the process of salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Holy Spirit sovereignly regenerates and draws sinners to Christ in a life-giving way.

In sovereign grace theology, the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation is paramount as He actively regenerates the hearts of the elect, drawing them to Christ with irresistible grace. Paul’s declaration in Philippians 1:6, 'He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion,' illustrates the complete work of God through the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. The Spirit does not merely attempt to persuade but effectively brings forth new life, as seen in John 6:44, where Jesus states, 'No man can come unto me, except the Father draw him.' This work results in a willing response to the gospel as the Spirit opens the hearts of the chosen, confirming their belief and showing that their faith is a gift from God, not a product of human effort.
