Why God Draws
Jesus tells us, "PEOPLE CANNOT COME TO ME UNLESS THE FATHER WHO SENT ME DRAWS THEM TO ME". For something so important that it can affect your life for eternity, the word "draws" does not seem strong enough. Maybe it should be "commands" or "tells" or "forces" or "makes" as draws appears to allow us a choice to change our minds. In fact we do have a choice. Jesus says God tells Him what to "say" and God give us a choice about everything. From the beginning "when God created the world" He gave man (Adam) a choice and we remember the story that mankind chose to disobey. God loves us but He gives us choices. Exercising choices is basic in our God given nature as we are created in God and Jesus' "image". When God showed the whole world His love by sending His only son, we had a choice of receiving "eternal life" if we believe in Him. Still mankind makes bad choices, as Jesus knew we would when He said that "many" choose the road to destruction but only a "few" choose the road to eternal life. It is common for people in political leadership positions in all parts of the political spectrum from very liberal to very conservative, to make decisions based on what they perceive as being "best for people". God knows what is best for us so we may have "eternal life" instead of "eternal punishment" but God does not impose it upon us. God gives us a free choice to go straight to hell, if we so choose. Do you choose to follow Jesus and have eternal life? 1
