Matthew Sucky here from Verity Baptist Church Manila and I wanted to provide you
another video on the topic of unconditional election in regards to
Calvinism. One passage that Calvinists love is John chapter 6 verses 37 through
40 which says in verse 37, all that the Father giveth me shall come to me and
him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out for I came down from heaven not
to do mine own will but the will of him that sent me. So what the Calvinists will say is,
well God gives Jesus some people and everyone that he gives comes and those
that he doesn't give don't and they're gonna go to hell because God's not
drawing them he didn't give them to Jesus. But then it says in verse 39 and this is
the Father's will which hath sent me that of all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day. So everyone
that's given is gonna be raised up at the last day it says in this verse. But
then verse 40 really kind of ties home everything that he's talking about. The
same thing you see throughout the Bible that's not an unconditional election but
is based on whether or not we believe. Verse 40, and this is the will of him
that sent me that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have
everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day. And so once again the
Bible is consistent that God's will is that everyone that seeth the Son and
believeth may have everlasting life. God wants everybody to be saved. He's not
willing that any should perish the Bible says. God wants everybody to be
saved. He wants everybody to end up believing on Jesus Christ. So when it
really comes down to the will of the Father what does he want? He wants us to
all get saved. And he wants us that are saved to help lead other people to the
Savior and teach them and that's how our Father is glorified. So you know once
again when you just look at a famous passage by the Calvinist if you just
look at the context what you'll see is not an unconditional election but the
will of him that sent me is everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on him
may have everlasting life and I'll raise him up at the last day whosoever
believeth in him. That's a consistent thing throughout the entire
Bible. Thank you and God bless.
