No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

[Bardon]

People were drawn to Jesus due to his compassionate nature, powerful teachings, and the miracles he performed. His willingness to associate with the marginalized and outcasts, his profound wisdom, and his reputation for being filled with the Holy Spirit attracted a wide range of followers. Some choose Him as their savior.

Individuals must make a personal choice to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. This choice is central to their faith, and while many are called to this belief, the decision to accept it is a personal one based on faith.

You ignore the point

No you have ignored the point that I made about John 6:44 and 12:32 the word draw

Sorry, but you ignored three examples of the use of the word draw and assumed a meaning that cannot be supported by multiple uses.

The Greek word for “drawn” is used in the LXX in Neh 9:30… (esdras 19:30) and that group of Israelites, though drawn by God to the opportunity to obey Him, did not do it.

Nehemiah 9:30 (YLT)

30 `And Thou drawest over them many years, and testifiest against them by Thy Spirit, by the hand of Thy prophets, and they have not given ear, and Thou dost give them into the hand of peoples of the lands,

The Hebrew word for “drawn” used in Neh 9:30 is also used in Hos 11:4-5, which again is showing that Israel was “drawn” by God with love to Himself, but they refused Him. Brian Wagner

Jeremiah 31:3–4 (KJV 1900)

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying,

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:

Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel:

Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets,

And shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

I gave you three additional examples you just ignored.

No I don't, I understand what Christ taught in Jn 6:44,12:32 about drawing. It is Spiritual conversion.

The all of Jn 12:32 that Christ was lifted up for, meaning His Death, are sanctified by His death.

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth[to die], will draw all men unto me.

The all He died for were or are legally sanctified unto God Heb 10:10

10 By the which will [of God] we are sanctified through the offering[death] of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

So He has promised to, upon being lifted up, to draw all the sanctified ones to Himself.

Now have all without exception been sanctified by His death ? No i.e

Rev 22 11

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Was Christ lifted up for and drawed these filthy, unrighteous, unjust ones ? No
