RnMomof7 didn't say that. But I'll say it.
God is completely sovereign. If He desires a man to repent and to serve Him, that man will repent. He may not like it. He may not want it. But, in the end, he will serve God if God desires it.
Okkkkkkkk I did not read the question the same way you did. I believe that the first thing God does is to change us so we do want him. What was dead ,now alive by His Grace.. seeks after the lifegiver. A dead man will not seek Christ. God knows those that are His...no man that has been "quickened " will reject Him..so it is a moot question..( at least in my mind ..for what thats worth:>)
There is big difference between Illumnation by the Holy Spirit to make the Gospel understandable so the individual can make a decision to receive or reject Christ (2Cor.4:6, Jn.12:32) and Irresistable grace. What pleasure does God get out of making someone accept Him? And why doesn't He make everyone accept Him. Oh, I forgot, we aren't allowed to ask those questions (Rom 9:20, Deut.29:29) God after is Sovereign what do the other attributes mean compared to POWER.
God is sovereign because of His other attributes, one of which is a Love that seeks the lost, not picks and chooses who will live with Him in bliss and the rest spend burning in the Lake of Fire. They choose that by their own free will. No creature will be in the Lake of Fire because God wants Him there, but because they chose to go there.
Even so, come Lord Jesus
