What is the relationship between sovereign grace and human will?

Answered in 1 source

Sovereign grace emphasizes that human will is unable to seek God without divine intervention, as affirmed in John 6:44.

Sovereign grace teaches that human will is inherently opposed to God due to the Fall. According to John 6:44, 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.' This verse illustrates the necessity of divine intervention for anyone to come to Christ. In Reformed theology, the drawing of the Father signifies a work of grace that changes the heart, enabling individuals to respond in faith. Without this gracious action, no one would choose God or desire salvation, as their sinful nature remains entrenched in rebellion against Him. Thus, the relationship between sovereign grace and human will reinforces the total dependency on God's grace for salvation.
