Question

Does a man seek God, or does God seek the man?

Answer

My, so what—what we got to worry about? Why are you walking along with a long face, like you eat oats, or the bottom of a churn. Why, my, smile. We’re happy. We’re Christians, and God has ordained us so and has given Christ for us. And no man could come to Him now… You say, “Well, bless God; I tell you; I—I got to seeking God.” No, you never. You never did seek God. Man never did seek God. There’s no such a thing as man seeking God. Did you know that? God seeks man. That’s right. No…?…You said, “Is that Scriptural?” Yes, sir. Jesus said, “No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first.” Your whole nature is altogether against God. And it has to take the Holy Spirit to first put that desire in there for you to linger after God. Is that right? And then when…“All that comes to Me, I’ll give them Everlasting Life.” There you are. “And then, I’ll raise him up at the last day.”
