Jesus said that Gods will was that He lose nothing of all He was given. Whatever God entrusted Him with, He was to treasure it and preserve it.
In the same way we must value what God gives us; not material wealth; that must be held loosely otherwise it will come between you and God; but the revelation that God gives you must be valued; those whom the Lord brings under your authority must be valued... Don't take for granted what God entrusts with but you must treasure it and guard it; as Paul says in 2Tim 1:14; Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
He explained that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life and He would raise him up on the last day.
Jesus came to give life to all who look up to Him and believe Him. Even today God is calling us to look unto Jesus and believe in Him that we may get eternal life.
Remember that eternal life doesn't mean living forever but knowing God and Christ intimately. Jn 17:3
Thus don't think that you got born again and thats enough; you must continue looking unto Jesus and believing Him to know Him more and more and to know God as your Father and this knowledge should be increasing consistently.
The Jews grumbled because He said He was the bread from heaven. They asked if He was not the Son of Joseph and Mary....they got offended.
We see as the saying goes; Familiarity breeds contempt. It's a dangerous thing to get familiar with a servant of God because you will not receive what God has for you through them. Have you allowed familiarity to come between you and the servant of God who ministers to you?
To fight familiarity; learn to appreciate what He does, learn to find good and not faults with Him. Don't forget what a blessing He has brought to your and your family.
Jesus said that no one can come to Him unless God sends him. We see here that human nature is against God and will not come to God. If you came to God; it's not you, it's God who drew you to Christ. You didn't choose God; God chose you .
Everyone who is taught of the Father comes to Christ.
You are blessed to be a blessing
