God Appeals to Us Individually....

Some people strongly believe that the Bible is just another tool
for arbitrary control of the masses...
Granted, it has often been misused that way by some sects..
Jesus , however,
painted a very different picture of the scriptures and their Divine Author.

He has described God as one who has an intense interest in each of his creatures...
At John 6:44 , Jesus explained ;
" No man can come to me unless the Father , who sent me, draws him.
" The verb used here does not suggest that God drags people ,
against their will..
Instead , God gentally attracts , appealing to the heart..

There is, as one Bible scholar put it ,
" an influence from God to incline the mind to believe. "

The Creator does not view the human family as a faceless mass.
He makes an evaluation of individuals and gentally draws to himself
thoses who have a heart that is rightly disposed...
