Robin, You asked: By drawing and being taught, do we mean that the Holy Spirit and the Father make Jesus look appealing? No. I believe that drawing and being taught has to do with knowledge that is given and conviction of sin so that we would understand our need for a Savior. Or, is the drawing and the teaching merely that the bare facts of the death and resurrection are known? I also believe that to come to God we need to believe that He exists. He gives everyone a level of revelation of who He is. I believe that the one who accepts the revelation given to him, that more will be given. But to him who rejects, resists and suppresses the truth that has been given, that which is rejected is taken away from him. The death of Jesus and the resurrection is the gospel. I do believe that if some responds to the light that God has given him and diligently seeks God, God will make sure that at some point he will hear the gospel. God talks about rewarding those who diligently seek Him and I believe that He is compassionate and abounding in mercy. Apparently, China is full of people who don’t believe a God even exists, let alone knowing anything about the Son. The Bible says that all have been given knowledge of God so that they are without excuse. I may not understand how all of this works, but I do believe that God will teach all, just as all have a conscience. I know that God speaks the truth and He knows what is in every man.
