In this episode, we unpack the deep truth that access to Jesus is not a casual or self-willed pursuit—it is granted by the Father. Jesus’ words in John 6:65-66 caused many to walk away. Why? Because the exclusivity and sovereignty of God in salvation confront human pride, self-effort, and casual discipleship. Let's explore what it means to be drawn by the Father, why some turned away, and how this truth deepens our reverence, gratitude, and endurance in following Christ.
* John 6:44 – “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.”
* Ephesians 2:8 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”
* 1 Corinthians 2:14 – “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God... and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.”
* Matthew 7:21–23 – “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven...”
* Luke 13:26–27 – “‘We ate and drank in your presence...’ But he will say, ‘I do not know where you come from.’”
* Hebrews 6:4–6 – A warning about tasting but not truly possessing salvation.
* John 15:16 – “You did not choose me, but I chose you...”
* Romans 9:16 – “So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.”
* 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 – God chose the weak and lowly so no one may boast.
* Luke 9:23 – “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
* Philippians 1:29 – “It has been granted to you... to suffer for his sake.”
* Matthew 7:13–14 – The narrow gate is hard, and few find it.
* 1 John 2:19 – “They went out from us, but they were not of us...”
* John 8:43–47 – “Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.”
* 2 Timothy 4:3–4 – People will turn away from truth to suit their desires
