Jn 6:44 is describing the effectual call or the irresistible grace in what religionist call calvinism, or tulip;
When God calls/draws chosen sinners, he gives them hearing ears, seeing eyes, believing hearts, and understanding minds.
These things are Gifts of God, for as Moses wrote Deut 29:4
Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
That word given can also me to cause like in Deut 28:7
The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
So when God draws us by His power He causes us hear, see, perceive Spiritually, they are His Gifts and not natural to man ! 14
