    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    No man can come to Christ naturally because by nature as Paul writes concerning the gentiles in Eph 2 they are helpless and without hope in themselves pertaining to Salvation Eph 2:12 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from...

    If one does fear God, thats evidence they are saved. Man naturally doesnt seek God nor fear God Rom 3:11,18

    Based on scripture, Rom 3:11 says this about man dead under sin There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. That word seeketh is the greek word ἐκζητέω: to seek out, search for to seek out, i.e. investigate, scrutinise to seek out for one's self, beg, crave to...

    No it doesnt, since the dead in sin have no will, desire for God, and no spiritual thirst.

    The reason why men by nature cant come to Christ by their so called freewill is because mans natural carnal mind is enmity against God Rom 8:7 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. That word enmity is the greek word...

    No man/person can come to Jesus Christ in believing except it be for performance of God ! Its like when Jesus says here Jn 3:20-21 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    When a person is being drawn by God or Christ its the equivalent of giving them both repentance and faith to believe on Him.

    First, man cannot come to Him for life. He stated, “No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him” (6:44). Again he says, “Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto Him of My Father” (6:65). The ability to come to Christ for eternal...

    Men by nature cant comprehend the Light, Its written Jn 1:5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and...

    Jesus said some will not come to Him Jn 5:40 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. The reason for that is simple, they have not been given to Christ by the Father in Divine Election, because Jesus went on to say Jn 6:37 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    No one can come to Jesus unless capacitated by the Father; that is, no one has the ability to receive Jesus unless the Father gives it to him. John 6:44,65 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. 65 And he said...

    @Behold Absolutely false and this exalts man, the truth is when God draws His People He gives them Faith. Thats why He draws them to make them followers of Christ as His Sheep

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    There must be a Divine Intervention before we can believe or come to Christ, a giving of a new mind and heart. Mans heart and mind by nature is enmity against God and not subject to God, and cant be ! Rom 8:7 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of...

    THE GOSPEL

    @JLB Yeah when one is saved. However one cant obey in the old nature of disobedience, So that destroys your philosophy that one must obey to get saved. Its an anti scriptural position.

    The only ones who will come to Christ/believe in Him for all Salvation will be His Sheep Jn 10:26. And its not by their own freewill nor anything native or natural within them, but by the Father having given them to the Son Jn 6:37,65 which speaks to Election. The Father by drawing them to...

    THE GOSPEL

    The bad news is that by nature we are under the control of a spirit of disobedience Eph 2:2-3 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also...

    Jn 6:44 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 drawing of the Father of some to come to/believe in Christ is actually the Father giving them to His Son Jn 6:65 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man...
