    When God draws a person, He has intervened in their life and gives them life, He causes them to believe in Jesus. Does He draw all mankind head for head ? No, only that portion of mankind that become believers in Jesus. And Im not talking about the false jesus who supposedly died for all...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Listen to Jesus, youll be the wiser. Now who does He specify that hears the words of God ? Take a deep breath and read Jn 8:47 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Problem is you cant see what I see. To draw is the impartation of...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    The man or women who comes to Christ, doesn't come by their own freewill ability, because naturally man is spiritually dead and without any spiritual life and ability. However when the Father draws one to Christ, He begins by giving them life, spiritual life. The drawing indicates life has been...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Yes those are spiritual actions, for instance one must be of God to hear the words of God Jn 8:47 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. The natural man as Jesus told these jews, cannot hear Gods word or understand it spiritually Jn...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    That means they were given the ability as well, which was from having been born of God. See naturally no man had the ability to believe in Jesus Jn 6:44 So look that word up for power exousia in Jn 1:12

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    Do you deny faith is the fruit of the Spirit? It's plainly written Gal 5:22. There's no sense in showing you scriptures, for you don't accept them

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    @Dave... Yes it says it, the reason why some received Him, Believed on Him is because they had been born of God, which is in line with the fact Faith is fruit of the Spirit.
