Featured The Millions Who Never Had a Choice

Was it the Father or the Son who raised, from the dead, Lazarus the brother of Mary and Martha?

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened ( ζῳοποιέω zōopoieō) by the Spirit: 1 Peter 3:18 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37 NKJV

Was Lazarus, "quickened," (συζωοποιέω syzōopoieō) either before or after being raised from the dead? Was Lazarus, ( ζῳοποιέω zōopoieō ) before and or after?

Are both or one, "quickened," relative to regeneration?

Is not even resurrection from the dead not some form of regeneration?

If not relative to OP, Please PM.

 

Exactly. I love the last line in the old hymn 'Afflictions, tho' they seem severe' that states thusly...'And welcomes all who come.'

God is not some tyrant who keeps His palms pressed against peoples' heads, holding them back from coming to Him. Nay! Yet, at the same time, He is not seeking any and all, but rather His sheep, those having gone astray in Adam. He seeks AND saves...actually draws and saves...not tries to save and fails...those He seeks AND finds.
