Some of the promises of God that we find in our Bible are
difficult to understand. Why is this?
Mostly it is because the promise conflicts with our own reasoning. It just
doesn’t fit the way we think things are or should be. Some think their
reasoning supersedes God’s words. Those who believe the Bible to be God’s Word believe
that everything the Bible says is true. Even historical accounts in the Bible are
accurate. Today’s promise is one of those passages but it is wonderful to
accept and believe, if we will by faith. Our verse sheds light on the sovereign
will of God in the selection of those who come to Him for salvation. God the
Father has predestined all those who would be saved. Based totally on the sovereignty
of God, Jesus is absolutely confident in the success of His mission. The
security of our salvation rests in the sovereignty of God’s will, because when
God promises⸺it’s a guarantee. “All” He has chosen will come to Him for
salvation. Whom the Father gives will come to the Son, Jesus Christ. We are a
gift of the Father’s love; we are a love-gift to the Son.
