What does it mean to be drawn to Christ by the Father?

Answered in 1 source

Being drawn to Christ means that the Father actively works in the hearts of the elect to bring them to faith in His Son.

John 6:44 states, 'No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This drawing is a divine act of grace wherein God the Father calls His chosen people to come to Christ. It is not an external coercion but an internal transformation enabling the sinner to respond in faith to the gospel. The drawing process is comprehensive; those whom the Father loves with an everlasting love are drawn to Christ, acknowledging their need and embracing Him for salvation. This underscores that salvation is entirely of the Lord.
