Bible Truth #106 - John 6:39

John 6:39

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

The Father’s Will is that Jesus will lose NONE of all that God has given Him. All? All of whom? Let me answer that - It is the Father’s Will that Jesus lose none of all the Elect.

Then Jesus goes on to use another word - GIVEN. That is the operative word here. And please notice the grammatical tense of that word. GIVEN, that’s past tense. It’s already DONE. God has it rigged, my friend. And no one is going to get saved whom the Father did not choose and give His Son. Well who did God give to Jesus? ANSWER - All those He chose in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). And Jesus WILL raise them up at the last day. PRAISE GOD!

Some, or even most Christians who are Arminian in their soteriology will say that God looked down through the corridors of time and saw who would accept Jesus as their Savior and He then chose them in Christ. The first problem with that is the grammatical syntax of the Greek does not support that conclusion. It is eisegesis.

The second problem is that the Arminian claims God loves everyone and wants all to repent. He doesn’t love everyone (see Bible Truth #66).

IF the Arminian was right and God looked down through the corridors of time and chose those who “accepted” Christ, why would He even create someone who He KNEW would not accept Christ?? To quote one of Dave Hunt’s books - What Love Is This? Ridiculous.

Bottom Line - It is NOT the Father’s will that every single person ever born be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). It IS the Father’s Will that Jesus lose NONE of all those given to Him, those chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. THAT is Scriptural. And all those given to Him WILL come to Him (John 6:37), and He WILL raise up each one (John 6:44) - those NOT given to Him He will not raise up.

God is sovereign - man is not. The creature can not say no to the Creator.
