Why is it important to come to Christ voluntarily?

Answered in 1 source

Voluntary coming to Christ is essential as it reflects a genuine desire and willingness to seek Him, enabled by the Holy Spirit.

Voluntary coming to Christ indicates that the believer's heart has been transformed by God's grace. The sermon points to Psalm 110:3, which speaks of God's people offering themselves willingly. This willingness stems from the new heart God gives His elect, replacing their stony hearts with flesh that longs to pursue Him. Therefore, the act of coming to Christ is not forced, but a natural response of love and desire spurred by the Holy Spirit. A genuine faith is characterized by this voluntary submission and eager response to God’s call, highlighting that true faith is both a divine gift and a personal response.
