In John 6:44, Jesus makes a profound statement that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws them. This statement emphasizes the fact that our salvation is not solely dependent on our own will or actions, but it is a result of God’s grace and mercy.
It is essential to understand that God is the one who initiates the process of our salvation. He takes the first step towards us, and we respond to Him. This means that we cannot save ourselves or earn our salvation by our good works or deeds. It is only by God’s grace that we are saved.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are acknowledging that we have been drawn by the Father. We realize that our salvation is a gift from God, and we cannot take credit for it. We understand that our salvation is not based on our own merit but on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Therefore, we need to rely on God’s grace every day. We must understand that we are not perfect, and we fall short of God’s glory. However, God’s grace is sufficient for us, and He will always draw us closer to Him. We need to trust in His unfailing love and mercy, and we will be raised up on the last day.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your amazing grace and mercy. We realize that we are not worthy of your love, but you still draw us closer to you every day. We acknowledge that our salvation is not based on our own actions or good works but on your grace alone. Help us to trust in your unfailing love and mercy, and to rely on you every day. We pray that you will continue to draw us closer to you and raise us up on the last day. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
