    Does God draw all people to salvation?
  • Marlene Crouch - In Reply - 2 years ago
    It is by the preaching of the Gospel of truth that Jesus Christ continually draws all men to Himself. {Eph.1:13; Acts 15:7-8}

    Does God draw all people to salvation? Yes! God is not willing that any should perish { 2 Pet. 3:9; Ezek 33:11; Jn. 3:16-17; 1 Jn. 2:2} We are saved by God's Grace, through faith in Jesus Christ's Sacrificial death, burial and resurrection {Eph.2:8}. God created every human being with a free will and a measure of faith { Rom. 12;3} with which to either believe or reject the Gospels' message of eternal salvation. {Rom.1:16-18; 1 Pet. 1:25; }

    God knew beforehand what each individual's decision would be. God is all knowing; totally aware of every single action, every thought and word that comes out of the mouths of every human individual; since before the creation of the world. { Jer. 1:5; Psa139:1-4; Psa.139:13-16: Heb. 4:12', 13}

    Kenaket,

    God does draw people to Christ. From there, it's up to the individual as to whether or not they will receive Him for salvation, or want to get away from Him. The individual must receive Jesus in order to be saved. ( John 6:44)

    Kenaket When you read the words John 3:16 and 17 then you begin to see the Great love of God displayed and

    made known by Jesus Christ and notice 17 for God sent his Son NOT TO CONDEMN the world but that the world through Him

    might be saved. Also next verse the condition you have to believe nothing gets done without believing and that requires

    action based on Gods word on what to do. Romans 8:28-39 look at who has our back and also 2 Peter 1-8 those who believe

    through the knowledge of God and act on that knowledge will never fail. So the draw is Gods love and only the scriptures

    show it. Agapeo

    Matthew 7:13-14

    "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
