44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Jesus defines what He means by the Father drawing a person in verse 45.
To be drawn by the Father is to be "Taught" by the Father - v. 45a
It is not possible to teach anyone anything unless they both hear and learn from the teacher. Therefore, to be taught by God is to have "heard" and to have "learned" from the Father.
To have "heard" and to have "learned" from the Father is to be TAUGHT by the Father and to be TAUGHT by the Father is what it means to be DRAWN by the Father.
Who is it that comes to Christ?
1. NONE of those who have "heard" and "learned" of the Father?
2. SOME of those who have "heard" and "learned" of the Father?
3. "EVERY MAN" that has "heard" and "learned" of the Father?
Therefore, "him" that is drawn IS the "him" that is raised to life eternal because "EVERY MAN" drawn/taught/heard/learned does come to Christ.
