Bible Question: [1] In the following verses, who initiated the friendship and with whom? (a) Genesis 12:1-3 (b) Exodus 3:1-16 (c) Matthw 4:18-20. [2) How do these verses relate to John 6:44? |
Bible Answer: [1] (a) Genesis 12:1-3 - The Lord initiated the friendship with Abram, (b) Exodus 3:1-16 - The Lord initiated the friendship with Moses, (c) Matthew 4:18-20 - Jesus initiated the friendship with Peter and Andrew. [2] John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." People do not come to Christ strictly on their own initiative; the Father draws them. So in each case above, with Abram, Moses, Peter and Andrew, the Father was working in the hearts of these men to draw them nearer to the Lord Jesus Christ. |
