John 1, all those who received Him were born of God, not of the will of man, not of the will of the flesh, which is their natural state. Evolutionists believe in natural selection by the flesh, and so also many Christians believe they are in charge of their spirituality with God by natural circumstance, but it is not a natural selection but a supernatural selection and that choice is God's alone.
John 1
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jesus here in Luke 10 says the exact thing, only those HE wills to know God and Christ are going to know them and NONE else will. That means salvation of a soul is up to the LORD and not the will of a man. All this is contrary to the very popular ideas today about true spirituality.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
Those Christ does not WILL to know God remain ignorant of who Christ is and they will never come to Christ because they have not been give to Christ by the Father..
