“This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” John 6:65

“This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” John 6:65”

John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Jesus teaches us that man comes to him.

And how does man know to come to Christ. Christ says those that come to will him come because they are taught.

John 6:44-46
New King James Version (NKJV)

44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’[a]Therefore everyone who has heard and learned[b] from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

Rom 1:16 teches us that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation.

Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,[a] for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”[b]
