What does John 6 teach about unconditional election?

Answered in 1 source

John 6 illustrates unconditional election by affirming that those whom the Father gives to the Son will come to Him and be saved (John 6:37).

In John 6, the concept of unconditional election is profoundly illustrated when Jesus states, 'All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never cast out' (John 6:37). This indicates that God's choosing of certain individuals for salvation is not based on any foreseen faith or merit but solely on His sovereign will. The assurance that these elected ones will inevitably come to Christ emphasizes the security and certainty of salvation for the elect. This doctrine assures believers that their salvation rests not on their fluctuating desires but on God's unchanging purpose.
