What does it mean to be made willing in the day of God's power?

Answered in 4 sources

Being made willing signifies the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's heart, awakening them to trust in Christ for salvation.

The phrase 'made willing in the day of His power' refers to the divine work of the Holy Spirit that instills genuine faith and willingness to cling to Christ. In the sermon, it is described how Jacob, once altogether dependent on his own scheming, becomes aware of God’s supremacy and His power to save. This transformation signifies a heart willing to submit to God's will and embrace His grace. As illustrated in Scripture, this work involves God overcoming the natural resistance of the sinner's heart, making them willing to come to Christ. This willingness is not produced by human effort but is a result of God’s sovereign grace moving upon the heart of the elect.
