Joh_4:13-14 - God Invites All To Heaven.
6. John 4:13-14 - God Invites All To Heaven.
"Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
Those who endorse election to salvation seem to overlook the word "whosoever.'' The election people very subtly emphasize two statements that appear in John 4:14 :
"I shall give him..."
They claim this endorses God's choosing or electing some to be saved. They claim only those who are saved are to whom Christ gives this water. This is the error they make by extracting certain phrases and not adhering to the whole verse. You will notice that Christ offers the living water, but does not make a person drink. You see, Christ offers the water to anyone, but only those who choose to drink of it will have everlasting life. John 4:15 makes this perfectly clear:
"The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw." The woman wanted what Christ had to offer. Here Christ is using literal water, metaphorically, concerning His Word. Maybe you are reading this book and have a thirst for everlasting life? You may, right now, put your trust in Jesus Christ--believing that He died on the cross to pay for your sins. In so doing, you have drunk of the water that Christ offered, by faith, which insures you of receiving God's promise of everlasting life.
