How can John 6:37 encourage you to share the Gospel with others? The Verse at a Glance “Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.” (John 6:37) Gospel-Fueling Truths Packed into the Verse • God is actively giving people to His Son—there are hearts already being prepared. • Those given “will come”; their response is guaranteed, not merely hoped for. • Jesus welcomes every single person who comes; no one is disqualified. Confidence in God’s Sovereignty Removes Evangelistic Anxiety • The outcome doesn’t rest on your eloquence; the Father is drawing people (John 6:44). • Because God’s plan is certain, every conversation has purpose—even when you can’t see it (Isaiah 55:11). • You are joining a work God has already set in motion (Acts 18:9-10). Assurance for the Listener Encourages You to Speak Up • You can offer a rock-solid promise: “He will never drive you away.” • Fear of rejection loses its grip—Jesus will not reject those who come, and their coming is ultimately to Him, not to you. • People longing for acceptance hear that the Savior guarantees it (Romans 10:11-13). Motivations Drawn from the Verse 1. Compassion: If Jesus won’t cast them out, neither should you hold back the offer. 2. Urgency: The Father is giving people to the Son right now—your words may be the means He uses today. 3. Joyful Expectation: Some will surely respond, because “will come” is God’s promise. Practical Ways to Let John 6:37 Shape Your Witness • Begin conversations assuming God is already at work in the other person’s heart. • Emphasize Christ’s open-armed invitation when you explain the Gospel. • Share personal testimony of how Jesus received you—illustrating the verse. • Memorize John 6:37; quote it naturally when offering the Gospel. • Pray in advance with confidence, asking the Father to reveal those He is giving to the Son. Scriptures That Echo the Same Encouragement • Luke 19:10—“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” • 2 Peter 3:9—He is “patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish.” • Acts 13:48—“All who were appointed for eternal life believed.” • Romans 1:16—The Gospel “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Let John 6:37 remind you that God is already drawing people and that Jesus promises to receive them; step out and share the Gospel with confidence, warmth, and expectation. |
