1 | Willing to believe? | John 6:44 | nivlac5 | 88203 | ||
In regards to the debate of free will. Each Christian must ask him/herself, how did I come to believe in Christ? Was there some "good" in me that desired to choose the things of God? In the book of Romans(1,2) we see that there is none righteous and none who seek after God. We also see in Romans 8, that we by nature are at emnity toward God. We also see in Isaiah 64 that all our righteousness is like filthy rags(literly menstrual rags(H.) We by nature are His natural enemies. So again, why did you believe? If you answer because I saw the light and made the decision then you have something to boast about before the Lord. See, Eph 2:8-11. The Bible is clear. It is God who regenerates our sin sick souls and makes us His children. He, as it says in Hebrews12:1,2 is the author and finisher of our faith and He who began a good work in you will finish it until the return of Christ(Phillipians 1:6.) If you are one who has placed his/her trust in the living God and Savior, Jesus Christ, then all you can do is be eternaly greatfull that God shed His grace upon you so that you might believe. In John ch. 1 vs12-14, it says that you received this truth not by inheratance or by the will of man, but by God. | ||||||

Greetings Elizabeth! While I may possibly be simply misunderstanding you, I wanted to clarify that God doesn't draw Christians to Him through Jesus Christ, but rather He draws sinners to Him throught Jesus Christ, thereby making them "Christians" (Romans 5:8). May only be semantics, but to me it's a huge doctrinal issue. Peace and Love, JibbyJee |
