“No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.”— John 6:44-45
So important to read both verses and get the entire point of Christ’s words. Some teachers take just verse 44 and use some force to try to make it mean that the Father chooses to make the salvation of a few possible and refuse a real offer of salvation to most, by regenerating the few so that they are born again and then they believe. Read it with the next verse, though, and we find Jesus’ point is that the Father has given His word, and He uses it to draw all who believe the Scriptures to Christ, where they find sure salvation. The ones who are not so drawn are not drawn because they do not believe the word of the Father, which was given to all. If they had believed Moses, they would have believed on Christ. Christ died for all, and whosoever will may come. Those who believe are guaranteed by this promise that they are the Father’s gift to the Son, and they shall never perish. Those who miss the salvation Christ bought for them miss it by their unbelief, not by the Father’s desire to condemn the world.
