The scripture plainly teaches that none [by nature] will come to God in Christ Jn 5:40 cp Rom 3:11
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Scripture teaches that the unwillingness to come to God in Christ is founded in man's inability to do the same Jn 6:44,65
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.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Notice Vs 44 states this inability is only remedied by the Fathers drawing, which is nothing short of the Power of God. The drawing power of God which imparts Spiritual life and strength/ability, changes the unwillingness to come to causing to be willing to come Ps 110:3
3 Thy people[The elect/Sheep] shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
The person now has a willing mind to come to Christ, the person has been chosen by God to approach Ps 65:4
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Thats the drawing in Jn 6:44, its God causing by His drawing power.
