Shalom, I did - the entire Hebrew Scriptures! From word one to the last word - it is a promise to "whoever will." God has prepared a feast but He won't force anyone to partake. All those before Yeshua were saved by their trust in the Promise to come, all those during and afterward are saved by their trust in the Promise fulfilled. And if one had to be alive during Yeshua's lifetime (or afterward) to receive salvation by grace through faith, then please explain why not one apostle or disciple is named in Hebrews chapter 11 that describes the kind of trust it takes to please Abba.

"Many times when I have spoken to someone about the electing grace of God, the response has been, 'I believe in whosoever will.' I suppose that such a response is meant to imply that these two Bible teachings are mutually exclusive of one another or perhaps even diametrically opposed. Everyone who preaches the electing love of God believes that the elect willingly come to Christ! The fact is that not only do I believe whosoever will. I know who they are! Our Lord said, 'All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out' (John 6:37). Our Lord said, 'It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and learned of the Father, cometh unto me' (John 6:45). Our Lord said, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me' (John 10:27). The heavenly Father said to His beloved Son, 'Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power' (Psalm 110:3). Who will come to Christ? Those who have been given to Christ, taught of the Father, and made willing in the day of our Lord's power. They are His sheep!" --Pastor Tim James, Sequoia Baptist Church, Cherokee, NC | ||||||
