Does God only draw some people to be saved?

January 27, 2022

Does John 6:44 mean God only draws some people to be saved? Do we really have “free will”? I heard a pastor teach from Matthew 8 that we can lose our salvation. Is that true?  I know we can’t buy our salvation through tithing, but don’t we tithe to avoid curses and gain God’s blessings?

Is John 15 addressing believers or unbelievers? What does it mean to abide? Is it right to picture Christ walking beside me and telling me it’s going to be okay? What is speaking in tongues? Is it a second blessing or evidence of true salvation? What is praying in the Spirit?

Rejoice always. Give thanks in all circumstances. Be anxious about nothing. Sounds great, but what happens when life gets hard, and our circumstances stink? Do we put on a plastic smile and try to be more spiritual in our suffering? Even when bad things happen, Philippians 4 reminds us of where we can find encouragement. It’s not about positive self-talk or pretending you feel peace or joy when you don’t. Experience strength and stability as you learn the secret to contentment and why you can “rejoice always” no matter what the world throws at you!

If we each have an anointing from God, why are there pastors and teachers in the body of Christ? What is a good study Bible? What is the “narrow gate” in Matthew 7?

Is 2 Chronicles 7:14 truly applicable to us today?
