Who will believe (only the chosen)?
In John 6:37, Jesus says "All that the Father has given me will come to me and whoever comes to me, I will never drive away". Does Jesus mean that only those the Father has given him will come to him? I think it is implied but it is certainly not stated. Other scriptures such as Romans 8:29-30 are more specific in this respect. However, I believe they both contain at least this truth: we have no barrier to a relationship with God if God calls us. He may or may not call all of us - that's a subject for another discussion - but those He does call He gives everything to provide for their salvation, or relationship with Him.
