"For I know that the LORD is great And that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps." Psalm 136:5-6 Who is in control? Satan? God? Man? Is control shared? Does God voluntarily relinquish aspects of His sovereignty? Is God even capable of controlling all things? |

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." John 6:44 How is a person saved? Does a person choose to follow Christ out of his own wisdom and insight? Does he weigh the merits of Christ from neutral position? Is a person able to desire Christ without the divine assistance of God? All are dead in their sins. They are born this way. Without the supernatural drawing of the Father no man will seek Christ! From the pages of the Bible we learn that God saves sinners and Christ's blood redeems those to whom it is applied. Amazing grace, how can it be! |
