It is a relevant question. Will God give up on me?

     When you think about it, it is one of the scariest questions that could ever be asked. I would like to say a quick answer and proclaim that Jesus will never quit on people. In a sense, that is correct. There should also be a qualified statement that "people" there would refer to "His people" and not just everyone. Let me explain. 

     John 12:32 says that if Jesus is lifted up then the Holy Spirit will draw all men to Himself. The present active tense of this statement would have to refer to a constant drawing but notice the Bible also reveals that most people will refuse His call and will choose damnation rather than life (Matt 7:14). Most are not concerned about their eternity until it is too late. They have been told about Jesus and His awesome work yet they scoff or mock or simply whisper, "not yet" when the Holy Spirit gives them yet another chance at eternity with Him. The accurate answer is that the time to respond is when He calls you and, to those who do, He has promised that "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb 13:5). Generally there are many verses that declare that God does not quit on His people. But God will also not force Himself onto people that do not want a relationship with Him (John 3:18). The choice is plain and the consequences are immeasurable.  I believe that God calls everyman and those who receive Him will never experience 'God quitting on them' those who refuse Him may more accurately be described as quitting on God.
