Matthew Stuckey here from Verde Baptist Church Manila providing another video on
the topic of Calvinism and irresistible grace and in John chapter 5 verses 39
and 40 the Bible reads search the scriptures for in them you think you have
eternal life and there they which testify of me and you will not come to
me that you might have life and see the Calvinists say that God's grace is
irresistible and if God calls you then you know what you will believe on him no
matter what it's up to his will and not your will but here we're seeing in John
chapter 5 verse 39 and 40 that Jesus is compelling people hey search the
scriptures he wants them to believe he says he wants you to have eternal life
they're the ones that testify of me and he says and ye will not come to me that
you might have life so here's an example of Jesus wanting somebody to be saved
here's someone God wants them to be saved and this person will not come to
him to believe on him and so this idea that God's grace is just irresistible
and if he wants you saved you're going to be saved that's just completely not
true here's an example where Jesus wants somebody to be saved he says that you
will not come to me what he's showing them is that they are making a choice
they're actually resisting the grace of God they're actually resisting you know
God and the Holy Spirit trying to compel them to get saved they're choosing not
to believe on him and this is a constant theme throughout the ministry of Jesus
Christ that look there's a lot of people that he says just choose not to believe
they will not believe and here in John 5 verses 39 and 40 very famous verses he
tries to compel them to search the scriptures he wants them to put in the
effort because they think they're saved and they're not and he's saying you
won't come to me that you might have life and what he's saying is they could
have life if they were willing to come but what they're doing is resisting the
Holy Ghost and so the Holy Ghost is is definitely resistible even though he
wants you to be saved you have that choice whether or not you're gonna
believe on Jesus Christ or if you're gonna resist the Holy Ghost and choose
not to believe and die and go to hell one day thank you and God bless
