Sometimes there is a theme or topic in scripture that can be found throughout the Bible. Sometimes passages can be gathered together that speak to a theme or topic, not to “prove” something we want the Bible to say, but to more clearly articulate what just might be a very important doctrine. One must be very careful in doing this, I think, because the human heart is still deceitful beyond measure (Jer 17:9), although as believers we also have the indwelling Holy Spirit. Are these some of those passages that go to important doctrine?

Isa 55:10-11 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”

Eph 1:4-6 “…even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. “

Joh 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”

Joh 6:44 – “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.”

Joh 6:65 “And he said, ‘This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.’”

I am just asking here. The answer to the question might be a matter of further study. If these passages of scripture us to further study concerning what they might be pointing to – mission accomplished.
