SEEKING GOD

SEEKING GOD

Is it possible for men to seek God? If those of the "grace only" persuasion are correct; in that God selects a few to be saved and the majority of mankind, through no fault of their own, will be sent to hell for all eternity, then of course man's attempt to seek God would be futile. Are they right?

CAN MEN SEEK GOD?

Matthew6:25-33.......33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and these things will be added to you.

Why would Jesus say, seek God's kingdom? Men can seek God. Seeking God is not an impossibility.

Acts 15:13-18......16 'After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, and I will restore it, 17 So the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,' 18 Says the Lord, who makes these things known from long ago.

James answered, Simeon has related, and the Prophets have agreed that mankind may seek the Lord, however, those "grace only' advocates who believe in the doctrine of predestination, without qualifications, disagree.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Men come to God. Men seek God. God does not force men into salvation. God does not force men to have faith. God does not compel men to repent. God does not overpower men and then force them to be baptized in water for the forgiveness of their sins. God does not force men to confess Jesus as the Christ the Son of God.

GOD IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO SEEK HIM!

SEEK GOD-------IT IS POSSIBLE!
