Soteriology question

[ecstasyofavila]

Hello! So, I just saw an OSAS argument, and I couldn’t find anything to refute it. It was pretty simple, but my mind is really jumbled right now, and I thought some other perspective might help.

Okay, so Jesus said he would deliver all that the father gives him, John 6:37-39. A common refutation is that we can forsake him, but not he us. But if he did not deliver everyone given to him, wouldn’t that mean he failed?

(I’m sick right now, if I could get some prayers as well that would be wonderful1)
Pax Christi!

Jesus came to redeem the world from the works of Satan. But there was a stipulated condition. The condition was that we turn to Jesus from our sinful ways, repent and accept Christ as God and Savior. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they did not accept Him, and He knew what would happen to them. He suffered in the Garden before His crucifixion knowing that some would not accept Him. This caused Him much suffering. He spoke of Judas saying “it was better had he not been born” Did Jesus fail? No, some did because they refused to accept Him. He saved all that the Father gave Him. We read in John 6, 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father calls him, and I will raise him on the Last Day” and in another part it reads “…and no one can go to the Father except through Jesus” We have free will, and can refuse the grace of God, and God desires the salvation of all men. Jesus saves all who turn to Him, and accept Him, and in love seek to do His will in their relation with Him. He didn’t fail!!

I will remember you in my prayers. I too am ill, we must joyfully trust in Christ’s love for us always.
