J. Vernon McGee (Through the Bible)

“Now God knows who the elect are, I don’t.

Someone came to Spurgeon one time and said, “Mr Spurgeon, if I believed as you do, I would not preach like you do.

You say you believe that there are the elect, and yet you preach as if everybody can be saved.”

Spurgeon’s answer was, “They can all be saved.

If God had put a yellow streak up and down the backs of the elect, I’d go up and down the streets lifting up shirt tails to find out who had the yellow streak up and down his back.

Then I’d give that person the gospel.

But God didn’t do that.

He told me to preach the gospel to every creature and that whosoever will may come.”

That is our marching order, and as far as I am concerned, until God gives me the roll call of the elect, I am going to preach the “whosoever will” gospel.

That is the gospel we are to preach today.”

Are we burdened for the lost…

 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.

20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews.

To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.

21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak.

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
