1 Thessalonians 5 24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

James 2 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Proverbs 28 1The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

1 Thessalonians 3 11Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you. 12And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows, 13so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

Romans 5 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Isaiah 53 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Zephaniah 3 17The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Philippians 2 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Ephesians 2 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Hebrews 13 14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

James 5 7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Proverbs 3 5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

James 1 5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Romans 8 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

1 Timothy 6 6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

He could not have walked away. When we are converted we are new creatures in Christ. It is a supernatural, literally life changing experience. We have new hearts and minds and now desire to please God. We care about the souls of others. We want what He wants. We love what He loves and hate what He hates. We are members of His body. Bought and paid for. Sealed. Branded. We belong to Him. Amazing and yes Irresistible Grace!

I will post this once again because nobody answers. Maybe they don’t like what they see. I don’t know. Did Paul believe In Jesus? That He was the Christ? Trust Him? Put faith in Him? Call on Him? Etc. Absolutely positively NO. He persecuted Him and the brethren. Jesus intervened first. We are no different than Paul. We are all on our own road to Damascus. God must first intervene in our lives.

John 17 9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Jude 1 4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Before of old. Before the world. Ordained or predestined to this condemnation.

John 12 37But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand withtheir hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.” 41These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. This is speaking of God blinding and hardening so they will not see or hear and be healed/converted. Mark 4 10And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Notice. Unto you IT IS GIVEN.

Philippians 4 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Hebrews 11 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 13 5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Everyone loves “No one can come to the Father but by Me” but no one ever posts “No one can come to Me except the Father draw him.” And also “No one knows the Son but the Father, and no one knows the Father but the Son, and whoever the Son wills/chooses to reveal Him.” “I will have mercy on whom I will/choose to have mercy, and I will harden whom I will harden.” “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated.” Before they were born. I am using my phone so I am quoting off the top of my head. I’m also on a train so I don’t have much service, but you know where I am going with this and you know where to look in the Bible. Just like you did not will yourself born, you cannot will yourself reborn. There are plenty more scriptures but I can’t post them right now. You know them though. Faith itself is a gift from God. And no one can RECEIVE anything unless it is given by heaven. Please pray always “to make your calling and ELECTION sure.” Thanks ??

Where does the Bible say he was given a chance to repent? I read that he was a liar from the beginning. Maybe I missed it?
