John 6:44-47
44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
When God draws someone, He gives them ears that can hear and teaches them as they are called and come to Him through Christ. The time He opens our eyes is when the faith to trust with active belief becomes the moment of rebirth that has assurance of life forever with Him - now and through death. This mystery of drawing and calling out to a new life is as the wind blowing, the unseen but felt work of God in those He calls, justifies, and glorifies.
