1 | Who does the Father draw to Christ? | John 6:44 | slide_m46 | 76031 | ||
Is their scriptural support for the concept that the Father draws EVERYONE to Christ, or just some of us? I am leaning toward the idea, through intense study, that the Father does not draw all of us to Him. If He did draw us to Him, how could we as puny humans resist the will of the Almighty God who created all things? Also, since some are obviously NOT saved, if Christ died for all, then regarding those who are NOT saved His Holy and perfect sacrifice would have at least in part, relative to those lost, be a failure. I cannot believe that Christ's sacrifice was anything other than a perfect success, and hence He will lose none that the Father has given Him..consequently, I am wondering if He did die for all, or for "all the Father gave Him. Does anyone have any thoughts to share that might help me to understand this better? |

2 | Who does the Father draw to Christ? | John 6:44 | Emmy | 115364 | ||
Christ died once for all it says in scriptures. This means all have the opportunity to be saved by Christ's sacrifice. Not all take advantage of the offer, andreject it for one reason or another. God the Father knows who are searching HIm out. He draws these to Christ, and Christ in turn teaches those drawn to Him about the Father. Not only does he give them information on understanding the Father, but His sacrifice actually cleanses them from sin so that they are redeemed as sons to the Father. |
