The Father sent Jesus. That is the Father drawing us. He has drawn all men to Himself.(The Cross is hidden from no one)
That is why today/now is the day of salvation. I don't believe man is wondering around aimless and has no ability to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father has already done His part.
Amen the gospel is preached to everyone we have a choice to ignore it or accept it
just like this it is an invitation
“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which
made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying,
Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready:
come unto the marriage.
But
they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
But when
the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
( they were called many times but they always found reasons not to attend it isn’t the hosts fault it’s the invited guests choice to attend or rsvp)
Then saith he to his servants,
The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Go
ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. ( go into all the world preach the gospel )
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and
the wedding was furnished with guests.”
Matthew 22:2-10
the gospel is an invitation by God extended to mankind to live forever with him sometimes we hear about it and whatever we’re doing at the time is more important to us it’s sad but true
We find that in Luke’s account
“Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: and sent his servant at supper time to
say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So that servant came, and shewed his Lord these things.
Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
…And the Lord said unto the servant,
Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For
I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.”
Luke 14:16-21, 23-24 KJV
God has done a lot to save us he’s made sure the invitation is all around us and has named the guest list
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16
awe are the invited guests but he isn’t going to come strong arm us and force us to come he’s not going to make it impossible for us to attend he isn’t going to make it impossible fornus not to attend he’s inviting us and anyone that hears what he’s said and actually believes is going to come into the truth and be enabled to freely choose life
