Ephesians 2:8 (NIV), “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.<\/strong>”\u200b<\/p>\n

The process of developing faith is a gift from God. Jesus said, “No man can come to me, except the Father<\/strong> which hath sent me draw him<\/strong>…” John 6:44.\u200b<\/p>\n

Right now<\/strong>, God is drawing some <\/strong>to be part of the church, <\/strong>the little flock. Few people respond to this call, “narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it<\/strong>.” Matthew 7:14. Through believing in Jesus’ atoning merit, we submit our lives and wills to follow Him. We know, “…all<\/strong> that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer<\/strong> persecution.” 2 Timothy 3:12. But we are promised, “If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign<\/strong> with him.”\u200b<\/p>\n

In the resurrection<\/strong>, God will draw all mankind<\/strong> to believe in Jesus. “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh<\/strong>…” Joel 2:28. Then John 12:32 will be fulfilled, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men<\/strong> unto me.”<\/p>\n

Isaiah 11:9-10, “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth<\/strong> shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD<\/strong> As the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.”<\/p>\n

“No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me<\/strong>, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity<\/strong>, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:34.<\/p>\n

At the end of Christ’s 1,000 reign, anyone who does not love righteousness and desire to obey God will die and cease to exist. Psalm 37:10, “For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more<\/strong>; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more.”<\/p>\n
