And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.” — John 6:65
Millions would have this instead say, "No one can come to Christ unless they accept Him of their own free will."
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. — John 1:12-13
Millions of Americans who believe the will of man has anything to do with conversion would be shocked to read this verse - that is, if they were honest.
For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth.” So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. — Romans 9:15-18
So then it does not depend on the man who wills.
Repeat after me guys.
So then it does not depend on man's will, free or otherwise.
One more time.
SO THEN IT DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE MAN WHO WILLS ... BUT ON GOD AND HIS MERCY.
No one has a free will choice to accept Jesus. Not a single person. Only those God has chosen will believe, God will grant them faith to do so. He loves them. Jesus died for them. The rest are hated by God and devoted to destruction.
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Hebrews 2:9 KJV
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” Matthew 7:7 KJV
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 KJV
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV
This is just some verses disproving the heresy that Jesus only died for the people God wants.
Jesus died for all men, He desires all men to be saved. God does not want a si bf le person to go to Hell; but many will choose to
Let's go over all of these verses one by one.
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Hebrews 2:9 KJV
This is referring to all men, as in not just Jews from one nation but both Jew and Gentile from every nation. The elect are among all tribes, tongues and nations.
And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. — Revelation 5:9
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” Matthew 7:7 KJV
No one will ask, seek or knock of their own free will. Its based on God's permission.
“I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’ To a nation which did not call on My name. — Isaiah 65:1
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 KJV
Only His chosen people will be given ears to hear.
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The Lord has made both of them. — Proverbs 20:12
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. — John 10:3
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV
Again seeking the Lord is based on God's permission.
