Episode 284: Why are sinners unwilling to come to God? Part 3

Why would anyone not want to go to heaven?

It's not that they don't want to go to heaven, they just don't want God, the Ruler of heaven, to be there.
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we ask the question, "Why are sinners (this includes you and I) unwilling to come to God?"

Now before you blow a gasket because I said it include you and I, let me explain. You and I did not come to Christ because we self determined to come. That is not a biblical position to take. All believers come to God in the manner that the scriptures declare they come to God.

John 6:43-44
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 NO ONE CAN COME TO MEN UNLESS THE FATHER WHO SENT ME DRAWS HIM; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:65
And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it HAS BEEN GRANTED TO HIM BY MY FATHER.”

Philippians 1:29
For TO YOU IT HAS BEEN GRANTED ON BEHALF OF CHRIST, NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE IN HIM, but also to suffer for His sake,

It doesn't matter if you don't understand that truth, it is still true. No one willingly comes to God on their own.
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue with our series "What's wrong with everyone?"

We are now dealing with our stubbornness and hard heartedness against the gospel. You may be saying, "not me." Well the scriptures takes a totally different position concerning your unwillingness than you do. Who's right?

Why are we so unwilling to come when God calls us with the gospel?

Today's study is 1 hour and 2 minutes in duration. I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 1 of 2 titled "Why are sinners unwilling to come to God? Part 3"
