Sinners do not perish because they cannot come to Christ, but because they will not come to Christ. Our Lord said, "YE WILL NOT come to me, that ye may have life." Man's ruin lieth wholly in his own perverse will. He cannot come because he will not come; help enough is provided were he willing. But he will not heartily receive the Lord Jesus as his only prophet, priest, and king. His heart will not submit to be wholly saved by grace through faith. Men perish because they will not come to the Lord Jesus; yet, if they do have a will to come, it is God who works the will in them. Grace, electing grace, both draws the will and keeps it steady; and to grace be all the praise. Salvation is of the Lord!
