Subject: The heart of unbelief



John 12:37 
 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 

John 12:39 
 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 
12:40 
 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 


John 6:44 
 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

To draw: horses draw a carriage. Except the horses draw the carriage, it will not move. Neither will a sinner move except the Lord draw him.


They saw Him, they talked with Him, and they would not believe.
John 6:34 
   Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 
6:35 
   And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 
6:36 
   But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 


If you will only believe, you will see the glory of God in salvation.
John 11:40 
 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?


The Lord doesn't keep everyone.
He called and drew Judas to him, but Judas was never saved. Judas loved money, and was not interested in salvation. He was so close to God, yet so far away.

He has drawn you this far, if you are not saved, beg him that he will not let you turn back as he let Judas.
You are no different than Judas.
He is no respecter of persons. This means that all are the same in his sight. Ths SAME.
