"All 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

 I.  NO ONE WILL COME TO GOD UNLESS HE BELIEVES, Heb. 11:6
A. Sinners must believe in order that they can come to God. Heb.11:6 says,
       "... He that cometh to God must believe that He is..."
B. Man comes to God by means of calling on Him through a  prayer of faith.  An example of
        this is found in Luke 18:13.
C. A sinner who repents, believes, and calls on God for salvation will be saved.  However, no
       one will call on God unless he believes (Rom. 10:13-14).

 II. THE FATHER GIVES TO CHRIST ALL WHO BELIEVE, John 6:37.
     A.  All authority was given to the Son by the Father, Mt. 28:18.
1. This includes authority of giving eternal life to as many as the Father has given the
        Son, John 17:2.
 2. This also includes authority of the Son to execute all judgement, John 5:22,27.
     B. Because the Father has given all authority to the Son, the Father gives to
         the Son all who believe in Him.
1. The reason is, the Son must exercise and execute His authority to give eternal life to
        those who believe in Him, John 17:2

 III.  THOSE WHO BELIEVE COME TO CHRIST, Rom. 10:13-14; Heb 11:6
   A.  Coming to  Christ is calling on Him, Rom. 10:13.
   B.  But, according to Rom.10:14, a person won't call on God  unless he believes.
   C.  So the sequence is: Election according to God's foreknowledge, God's call through the
         Spirit's conviction and  the preaching of God's word, hearing, repentance, faith, calling on
         God (coming to God), then Salvation (Rom. 10:13-17).
    D. Therefore, all those the Father gives the Son will come to Him  because those who truly
         believe will come to Him (Heb. 11:6; Rom. 10:14).

 IV. THOSE WHO COME TO CHRIST ARE ETERNALLY SECURED, John 6:37.
    A.  Christ promised, "...I will in no wise cast out," Jn. 6:37.
    B. Many passages speak that those who come to Christ obtain  eternal life such as Jn.
        10:28,6:47, Matt. 11:28.

 V. CONCLUSION:
      A.  Calvinists believe that the elect were given to Christ in  eternity.
1. Were the elect already in Christ in eternity? According to II Cor. 5:17, "Therefore, if
     any man be in Christ, he is a new creature..." Were the elect new creatures already in
     eternity before they believe?
2. In Eph. 2:12, the believers at Ephesus were said to be "without Christ" and "without
        God" before they believe.
3. Were the elect in the hand of Christ already before they believe? But, John 10:28-29
        and 6:47 refers only to the  believers.
      B.  Therefore we conclude that a person or elect is given to Christ at the point of faith.
