I have been thinking and have thought in the past concerning OSAS.
Who is it, what is it that brings us the genuine saving faith?
John 6:29
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
John 16:8-9
8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
Romans 10:9-13
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
So I find myself thinking?
God brings us to faith in Jesus, we repent of the sin of unbelief, confess and believe he died and rose again for us. Notice rose again.
God knows everything.
Right from the very beginning.
He knows what will happen tomorrow, next year in 20 years time for everyone who has lived and will live.
He knows the date, the hour, the minute and the second we will be born and we will die.
That being the case why would he bring someone to faith knowing full well that person will reject their faith, reject Jesus.
Is that not cruel, cold hearted and downright wrong?
