What does it mean to be drawn by the Father in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being drawn by the Father means that God actively works in a person's heart to bring them to salvation.

To be drawn by the Father signifies the divine initiative in the salvation of individuals. As stated in John 6:44, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This indicates that God's grace precedes human action; no one can approach Christ unless the Father enables them. This drawing does not imply a mere opportunity but a sovereign working of God in the hearts of the elect, leading them to recognize their need for salvation in Christ. Such understanding reinforces the belief in sovereign grace, emphasizing that salvation truly is of the Lord.
