Subject: What is Free Will? |
Bible Note: And yet... According to Paul, "no one seeks God". "there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God." Romans 3:11 Can we hear Him knock unless God turns on our ears? Is not our faith itself a gift from God? You had asked, "Does this mean that the one that is being drawn has to accept the gift of Salvation?" I think when God chooses us... its a done deal. Jesus said, "For many are invited, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14 and... "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16 Can we say "no" to His divine calling? Is He sovereign? or are we? My view is this: If left up to us, we'd choose wrong every time. God chose us, and boy am I glad! We may not understand it, but thanks be to God for His all-sufficient grace! ;-) Curt |
