It did not surprise Him that Judas would betray Him even though Judas did not leave Him in John 6 as did the crowd and the Jews. Judas stayed with Jesus even though he was an unbeliever. Judas had plans to advantage himself. But Judas was never given to Jesus by the Father. Why? Judas was never given to Jesus by the Father because Judas was not a follower of the Father from the beginning. Judas was not a believer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>No unbeliever is given to Jesus<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Unbelief is the sole reason Jesus made His statement about the Father not granting people to come to Jesus. Those who did not believe the Father did not fear God. Those who did not believe the Father did not obey God. Those who did not believe the Father did not believe the Scripture, and they did not come to Jesus. Everyone who readily came to Jesus in faith already had been prepared by believing the message of the Father through John the Baptist.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 1:7 (NASB) He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, <strong>so that all might believe through him<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The message of repentance and faith was crucial to preparing people to give to Jesus. Those who believed were those who repented of their sins, and they received the baptism of John. God set up the testimony of John so that all might believe through John&#8217;s message of repentance and faith. And because John was the forerunner of Jesus, no unbeliever would ever be granted entrance to come to Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A challenge for Calvinists<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">1. Since Jesus showed that unbelief was the reason the Father did not grant people to come to Jesus, can you show <\/span>from <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">the context in John 6 where the Father gave unbelievers to Jesus?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">2. Can you explain why believing was the condition for coming to Jesus if coming to Jesus was unconditional?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A word to Calvinists<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">I appreciate the Calvinists who visit my blog. My intent is to provide a focus on Scripture and the inspired words of Jesus that may be outside of your mindset in Calvinism. I do this because I care, and I want to see us come together in unity in Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John 6:64-65 For this reason For this reason &#8211; John 6:64-65.
