This entry explores the various contexts in which "draws" appears in Scripture, highlighting its theological and practical implications.<br><br><b>Divine Drawing</b><br><br>One of the most profound uses of "draws" in the Bible is the divine action of God drawing people to Himself. In the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks of this divine initiative: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day" (<a href="/john/6-44.htm">John 6:44</a>). This verse underscores the belief in God's sovereign role in salvation, emphasizing that coming to faith is initiated by God's drawing power.<br><br>The drawing of individuals to Christ is also seen in the context of the cross. Jesus declares, "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself" (<a href="/john/12-32.htm">John 12:32</a>). Here, the crucifixion is portrayed as a pivotal event that draws humanity to Jesus, highlighting the universal scope of His redemptive work.<br><br><b>Drawing Water</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the act of drawing water is a common and essential task, often associated with daily life and sustenance. For instance, Rebekah is introduced as she draws water from a well, an act that leads to her meeting with Abraham's servant and eventually becoming Isaac's wife (<a href="/genesis/24-15.htm">Genesis 24:15-20</a>). This narrative illustrates how ordinary activities can be divinely orchestrated to fulfill God's purposes.<br><br>The drawing of water also appears in the account of the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus engages her in conversation, leading to a profound revelation of His identity as the Messiah. He offers her "living water," symbolizing eternal life and spiritual satisfaction (<a href="/john/4-7.htm">John 4:7-14</a>). This encounter demonstrates how physical needs can serve as a metaphor for spiritual truths.<br><br><b>Metaphorical Uses</b><br><br>The Bible also uses "draws" metaphorically to describe various spiritual and emotional states. In the Psalms, the psalmist often speaks of drawing near to God as an expression of seeking His presence and favor: "But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works" (<a href="/psalms/73-28.htm">Psalm 73:28</a>). This reflects a heart posture of dependence and trust in God.<br><br>Additionally, the concept of drawing near is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to approach God with confidence: "Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water" (<a href="/hebrews/10-22.htm">Hebrews 10:22</a>). This invitation to draw near is grounded in the work of Christ, who provides access to the Father.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The theme of "draws" in the Bible encompasses both divine initiative and human response. Whether it is God drawing individuals to Himself, the practical act of drawing water, or the metaphorical drawing near to God, this concept highlights the dynamic relationship between God and humanity. Through these various contexts, the Bible reveals the depth of God's desire for communion with His creation and the ways in which He orchestrates events to fulfill His purposes.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2390.htm"><span class="l">2390. iaomai -- to heal</span></a> <br><b>...</b> [2390 ("to heal") <b>draws</b> the attention , the supernatural Healer, ie beyond the physical<br> healing itself and its benefits (as with 2323 ).].
