What does the Bible say about the necessity of Christ coming to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that for a sinner to come to the Savior, the Savior must first come to the sinner.

In John 4:4, it says that Jesus 'must needs go through Samaria,' which highlights a spiritual necessity rather than a geographical one. This is reflective of God's purpose in salvation, where Christ actively seeks out the lost to draw them to Himself through effectual grace. For individuals who have been elected by the Father, there is a divine necessity that He will come to them at the appointed time, ensuring that they are called to salvation. This underscores the sovereign grace theology that emphasizes God's initiative in the salvation of His chosen people.
