A person comes to Christ only because the Father causes him to come to Christ, Thats what in essence Jn 6:44 is saying, Similar to Psalm 65:4 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of...

What we as natural men dont comprehend is that by nature we are dead to God, in such a condition we are without any hope in and of ourselves, like these gentiles Eph 2:12 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants...

The Church, the Body of Christ was in the Old Testament. Here its called tbe City of God Ps 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

Jn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. The word “can” is a word of ability not merely will not accept. Why doesn’t man have the ability to come to Christ? Simply because they are dead in sins. Colossians 2:13 And...

Nah the new man will never depart, Jer 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

A new heart means a new will. The new heart is the cause Deut 30 6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. But if God you not one of the chosen seed, we wont get a...
