In John 6:37 our Lord says: “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me.” Doesn’t God want all to be saved? Hebrews 2:9 reads, “that He (Christ) by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” 2 Peter 3:9 also says: “The Lord…is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” No one can read these declarations and say that He has not provided for the salvation of all, or that it is not His will that all should be saved. Regarding John 6:44, it should be remembered that it is the Spirit who woos us to Christ, and that the Spirit has been sent to “convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (Jn 16:8). We should also note that there were those who had a living relationship with the Father when the Son came into the world. It was these whom the Father drew to the Son. And the rest of humanity? That’s the rest of the verse: “…and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.” Whosoever will may come!
