John 6:64-66
64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
God knows who will believe, but also has to draw men and grant them to come and be His. Many who hear that it is up to God to call and grant faith to then believe just walk away angry, because pride says they must do it in their own power. Jesus said we must be called out, and He knows who we are that are enabled to believe - all by His work and grace, not ours enabled by rules or others, but by Christ alone.
