ESV study notes are just so awesome and helpful. John 6:37- All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out Study notes: Jesus promises to receive everyone who comes to Him and trusts Him for salvation. Yet, a few verses later (v. 44) Jesus states the paradoxical and corresponding truth that once people come to Jesus, they will realize that behind their willing decision to come and believe lies the mysterious, invisible work of the Father who all along was drawing them to Christ. See Romans 9; Eph 1:3-6. (John 6:44) No one can come to me means no one is able to come to me (Gk. dynamai means to be able). This implies that no human being in the world, on his own, has the moral and spiritual ability to come to Christ unless God the Father draws him, that is, gives him the desire and inclination to come and the ability to place trust in Christ.
