What does it mean to be fetched by God?

Answered in 1 source

To be fetched by God means being drawn to Him by His grace despite our unworthiness.

Being fetched by God signifies an act of divine grace where God, in His mercy, draws individuals to Himself for salvation. In the context of the sermon, Mephibosheth's being fetched highlights that it is not by our efforts or worthiness that we come to Christ but solely by the initiative of God. Just as David's servants physically brought Mephibosheth to the king's presence, God uses means such as the preaching of His Word and the work of the Holy Spirit to bring about His purpose in the lives of His elect. This act illustrates God’s sovereign choice and love, where He reaches into our desolate state and calls us into fellowship with Him, emphasizing that salvation is entirely a work of grace.
