For those of us who have come to Christ, we give glory to God, giving thanks that His grace has reached us and lifted us out of our bondage and into His freedom. Rather than magnifying our own free will, we sing, from the heart, "He drew me and I followed on, charmed to confess the voice divine." We know, in our hearts, the truth of Jesus' words, "All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me" (John 6:37). We also know that there are many who hear God's voice and yet they harden their hearts. Those who have come to rejoice in Jesus Christ may well ask, "How can anyone say 'No' to the Saviour's love?" When we, who have come to the Lord, are giving our testimony, we may well speak of an 'irresistible grace' - "Christ Jesus took hold of me" (Philippians 3:12). When, however, we are calling upon sinners to come to the Saviour, we must speak clearly of the fate of those who, when they hear God's voice, persist in hardening their hearts.
