The only way

You don’t have to come to Christ. But if you’re going to be saved, friends, you’ll have to come. God has no other way. The Lord Jesus said, “No man cometh to the Father but by me.” You may think that’s dogmatic and narrow—and it is. But the interesting thing is it’ll bring you there. And the other part of it is you don’t have to come. That’s where your free will comes in. You don’t have to come, but if you’re going to come to God, you’ll have to come this way because God has elected this is the only way. In fact, He can’t take your righteousness; He won’t have it. “It is not by works of righteousness which we have done. According to His mercy that He saved us ….” This is His way.
