WHY man is unable to choose Jesus and the Gospel

[Dougcho]

NT verses are available for all of these disastrous conditions:

Inherited sin nature ................... Spiritual mortal enemy, Satan

Sin nature against God ............. Satan’s army against him

Enemy of God ............................. Under Satan’s power & control

Spiritually blind .......................... Satan robs initial faith

Lives in an evil world ................ Satan causes him to be:

Slave of sin .................................. ● deceived

In Spiritual darkness ................. ● spiritually blind

Spiritually dead ......................... ● held a captive

Sees Gospel as foolishness ..... ● held a slave

Cannot come to Jesus

Father God must draw him to Jesus

Jesus must choose him

Problems, persecutions, worries, lures of wealth

Extremely difficult to enter the Kingdom of God

I sure am glad that there are no barriers keeping men from being drawn to God.

“All that the Father gives to Me will come to Me …
of all He (Father God) has given to Me I should lose nothing …
No one CAN (is able to) come to Me unless the Father who sent Me
DRAWS (Greek: compels, drags) him … no one CAN (is able to) come to Me
unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” (John 6)
