“Shall Come Will Brins You”
By J. M. Little
Special To The Post
"AH that the Father
giveth Me shall come to
Me; and him that cometh
to Me I will in no wise cast
out.” (John 6:37) John 6:37
is one of the greatest
Scriptures in the Word of
God embracing the doc
trine of election. I t is cer
tain that not everyone will
be saved! There is a reason
why not all will be saved. If
mm were to conclude that;
’ salvation is teft up to the
individual 4lnher, we would
‘totally despair because
man by nature is dead
(Eph 2:1) and cannot
come to Christ. Man by
nature does not and cannot
know Christ. My Lord said
"ALL” that the Father
giveth Him shall come to
Him. Before the foundation
of the world (Eph. 1:4, II
Tim. 1:9) God elected, or
chose a number out of
' Adam’s fallen race and
gave them to Christ. Christ
came and died for that
number. But how can a
dead sinner come to
Christ? He cannot.
The elect are just as dead
in their natural state as the
non-elect. How then can
they come to Christ?
SHALL COME is the resur
rection power of the Lord
Jesus Christ who is the God
of Resurrection. The Lord
Jesus Christ through the
blessed Holy Spirit gives
the dead elect sinner the
Effectual Call that awak
ens him from the dead as
Paul pointed out in Aph.
2:1. As I have said many
times recently-only the
Holy Spirit can make a
sinner alive and bring him
to Christ. The Holy Spirit
does not awaken you to the
fact you are saved. He
awakens you to the fact you
are LOST. How many of
you know what it means to
be lost? Very few of our
church folks know what
being list is all about. Just
listen to the multitudes of
our preachers, Bible teach
ers, and deacons when they
are bringing their messag
es and you discern right
; away that they know
absolutely nothing about
being a lost sinner under
Holy Spirit conviction
i (John 16). I was kicked out .
of a church not too long ago
because I kept hammering
me truth home to the
hearts of those folks that
you MUST be awakened to
your LOST condition before
you can be saved.
SHALL COME is the
resurrection power of the
Lord Jesus Christ, who is
the God of resurrection,
who makes the sinner a live
, to the fact of his lost
condition. I am helpless to
• make you alive. I am help
less to bring you to Christ.
" That is the express work of
the Holy Spirit. And when
you tell me the pastor gave
, an invitation and you went
down and “accepted
• Christ” as your Saviour, I
weep and cry in my heart
because I know Satan has
slipped you a counterfeit.
2 You say you are saved but
' you are a total stranger to
; Holy Spirit conviction that
reveals to the sinner his
dead, totally depraved,
' helpless, hapless, vile,
f wretched, hell-born, hell
bent, hell-bound, and hell
deserving condition. Then
. again, you are a total
stranger to the Lordship of
Jesus Christ which every
'. elect sinner learns under
• Holy Spirit conviction
- before the Lord saves him.
Isa. 54:13 and John
6:45 Ml us that all God’s
children are taught of the
Lord. Then the Lord said,
. “NO MAN CAN COME TO
.ME, EXCEPT THE
-FATHER WHICH HATH
: SENT ME DRAW HIM.”
’(John6:44 - • -
(John 6:44)
You can come to church,
L to a decision, to turning
your so-called faith loose,
to cleaning up your life, to
quitting sins, and such like
But none of that is salva
; tton Christ, Himself, is

that must be REVEALED
to your heart or you will
perish forever Now, the
question is: Do you know
Christ? Has He been re

vealed to your heart?
“Well, I made a profession
and accepted Christ as my
Saviour.” That's not sal
vation. The Lord is sove
reign and He is not so
foolish to stand before you
for you to accept Him or
reject Him as free-willers
teach. You stand before the
sovereign Lord for Him to
accept you or damn your
poor soul to Hell. In
practically every church
the damnable and hellish
doctrine of “ACCEP
TANCE” is taught and that
hellish doctrine is going
around the world like wild
fire. Many will withdraw
from the world, quitting
gross sins. You think you
are saved, but when I
question you, you fall back
on your accepting Christ as
Saviour. What a tragedy!
B,ut note that our Lord
said “ALL” that the Father
giveth Me shall come to
Me. Every elect will be
brought to Christ as a lost
sinner because not one
elect will be lost. It is so
foolish, blind, and stupid to
think that salvation, as
great as it is, rests on the
depraved will of man. But
the reason you go astray on
salvation in Christ is be
cause you go astray on the
'total depravity of man.
Once you learn total de
pravity you see that if God
hadn’t elected a number
before the foundation of the
world, no one would ever be
saved. And you thank and
praise the Lord for His
election.
Are you seeing these
truths I am setting forth?
So few are. But one day you
are going to have to stand
before God and He is going
to ask you what you did |
with His truths and His
messages He sent to your
heart. And you will answer
that you despised His ,
truths. That group of
women that rebelled over
there near Lake Gaston,
there was a recording
angel that recorded all
their thoughts and hard
sentences against God’s
servants and the truth. But
they don’t know that.
When I was under convic
tion and heard the truth
that an angel was record
ing everythirig I thought as
well as everything I did, I
like to have died. I knew
the Lord’s Eye was on me.
When the Holy Spirit
turns the search light on
your heart and lets you see
yourself as you are in the
light of God’s Word, you
drop dead at His feet.
When God saves a sinner
it's just a quiet revelation
of Christ to your heart.
Remember, you must
come to Christ for salva
tion. Yes, you are help
less, but “SHALL COME”
is all powerful and will
bring you to Christ. The
reason the converts in the
average church today go
back to the world is be
cause they didn’t get to
Christ. Did you get to
Christ? In salvation, God
breaks the power of sin in
that heart. You are
delivered or transported
from the kingdom of Satan
into the Kingdom of the
Lord Jesus Christ Shall
come brought you to
Christ.
Do you understand these
things? Ask the Lord to
reveal them to you so that
you may flee to Him.
