I have finished book 1 which begins with Lucifer/Satan developing pride and ends with his fall. (I'm praying someone will choose to publish it.) Book 2 will begin with Satan on earth and continue through the Old Testament. The Story of The Incarnation will be included in book 3.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment and for reading it!

We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come or encourage young friends to go on a short term missions trip to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon/ God's richest blessings on you your family and friends also wishing you a blessed and a Christ centered rest of the year 2020.

When in days of pain we observe our erected memorials - the times we saw God work mightily in our lives - we are reminded of just how much He loves us. This encourages to keep on keeping on in the midst of the storm.<br /><br />I had not heard about the Plymouth memorial stones. Nevertheless, I would like to research them sometime soon.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment!

Yes, God does the drawing, His Holy Spirit does the convicting, and Jesus already paid the price. However, God has given to each one a measure of faith. Those who take their measure of faith, believe, repent, and receive Jesus, to them He gives the right to become children of God. These are the ones who have surrendered and have been born again; born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. To these God gives His helmet of salvation. Glory to God!

John 6:44 No one can ...UNLESS THE FATHER DRAWS HIM<br /><br />John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.<br /><br />What is the meaning of John 6:44?<br /><br />1. Does it mean only a few, who have been selected by the Father, will be saved? No, it does not.<br />2. Does it mean that men only respond to the gospel because of irresistible grace? No, it does not.<br /><br />WHO ARE THOSE THAT THE FATHER DRAWS?<br /><br />John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.<br /><br />The Father draws all who hear and learn. The Father does not force anyone to hear or learn. Men have free-will. God does not impute faith into a few so they will believe and be saved. Faith does not come by injection.<br /><br />HOW DO MEN HEAR AND LEARN?<br /><br />Romans 10:13-14 for "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?<br /><br />Men need to hear the gospel before they can learn and believe. The Father draws men by the gospel.<br /><br />Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.<br /><br />Faith comes from hearing the gospel. Faith does not come because the Father selected a chosen few, before the world began, to be saved. All who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior are the chosen and that includes whoever accepts God's terms for pardon. Faith does not come because of irresistible grace.<br /><br />God the Father draws men to Jesus with the gospel.<br /><br />Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,<br /><br />IT IS THE GOSPEL THAT DRAWS MEN TO JESUS!<br /><br />IRRESISTIBLE GRACE IS NOT THE METHOD THAT THE FATHER USES TO DRAW MEN TO JESUS.<br /><br />Romans 10:21 But as for Israel He says, "All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."<br /><br />Israel as a nation rejected the gospel. How could that be possible if irresistible grace were in play? Israel turned away from God.<br /><br />Matthew 23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.<br /><br />Jerusalem was unwilling to be drawn to Jesus by believing the gospel. They had a choice.<br /><br />John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.<br /><br />The Jews had the opportunity to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they were unwilling. There was no irresistible grace in play. The Father draws all who are willing to believe the gospel.<br /><br />John 6:40 This is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."<br /><br />IF YOU ARE READING THIS BLOG YOU ARE ONE OF THE "EVERYONE" WHO HAS A CHANCE TO BE BELIEVE THE GOSPEL AND BE SAVED.<br /><br />MEN REJECT GOD.<br /><br />GOD DOES NOT REJECT MEN DUE TO NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.<br /><br />THE FATHER DRAWS MEN TO JESUS THROUGH THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL. MEN ARE NOT DRAWN TO JESUS BECAUSE THEY WERE PRESELECTED FOR SALVATION! <br /><br />YOU ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW MY BLOG. http://steve-finnell.com<br />Steve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863026367048527526noreply@blogger.com
