This question is for Evangelicals who do not hold a Calvinist view Jesus Christ states that the Father alone draws men to Himself. > “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:44‬ ‭ 1. What did Jesus mean by this statement? 1. How is this statement to be understood in the broader context of Scripture such that God remains Sovereign, drawing certain men to Jesus Christ but men still have free will to choose, up until the point of being drawn by the Father to Jesus Christ or thereafter? 1. The response should be able to address/explain Acts 13 why the Jews were not drawn but the Gentiles were and Acts 16 with Lydia who went from hearing to paying close attention, therefore drawn. Or other NT examples. Jesus does add a qualifier > “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ *Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me*.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:45‬ ‭ 1. How can one hear and learn from the Father if first they have not been drawn to Jesus Christ yet but clearly still able to hear and learn from the Father prior to been drawn to believe in Jesus Christ? 1. What is the catalyst that allows them to hear and learn that they might be drawn?
