Quote by John MacArthur
“No soy responsable de quién se salva, ni tampoco usted. Rehúso tal responsabilidad. Entonces, ¿quién es el responsable? «Ninguno puede venir a mí», dijo Jesús, «si el Padre que me envió no le trajere» (Juan 6.44). Dios tiene esa responsabilidad, y no nosotros. Por consiguiente, puedo mirar a la multitud y decir, como dijo Jesús: «La mayoría de ustedes no creen». Pero algunos sí creerán, conducidos a la fe por una lectura de la Biblia, al hablar con algún amigo u oyendo a un predicador en la calle. Cuando eso sucede, en lugar de ser increíbles y necias, esas palabras tan difíciles de creer llegan a ser el único bálsamo que alivia al corazón pecador; la única guía a la puerta angosta que lleva a la vida eterna, la única verdad rica, completa y suficiente santa para salvar un alma del fuego eterno. Estas palabras duras llegan a ser preciosas y recibidas con beneplácito: «Todo lo que el Padre me da, vendrá a mí». Vendrán. Nuestro llamado es alcanzarlos con la verdad.”
