Do you mean because of the unusual abbreviations of the Bible books?
Or because we all are sinners/fools/natural man before we obey the command in DT 19:30 and choose life willingly per MT 23:37 because God loves us all and provides everyone the opportunity to learn the truth and be saved per 1TM 2:3-4. Was obstinacy the reason you did not include those citations along with JN 3:16, etc.? We need to knit all of Scripture into one beautiful sweater. (A future art work with those passages? :^)

You must make up your mind whether you want lots of text on a panel or less. I cannot ever possibly include all verses relevant to salvation on a single panel. God promises to circumcise our hearts so we may love Him, that is in Deuteronomy also, why did you neglect to mention that? Then we have those who act as if God enabling us means God forces us against our will, juxtaposed against being told all given to Jesus WILL come. If you want to see my John 3:16 panel, all you have to do is ask!
John 3:16

1 Corinthians 4:7b; John 3:27; Romans 9:15-16 What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did also receive it, why do you boast as not having received it? John replied, "A man can receive only that which is given him from heaven." "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then, it does not depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
@GWH are you also one of those who denies these verses?-

since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”

“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
Romans 3:21-26 KJV
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

1 Corinthians 15:56-58 KJV

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:13-17
“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world
the apostles chosen of Israel for wotnesses ) thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; ( Judas ) that the scripture might be fulfilled.
….Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;”
John 17:6, 8, 12, 20 KJV

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

V “he that is saved shall eventually believe and get baptized. He that is already damned shall
NOt believe “
the part your seeing where some of Israel could believe sis is because of what he said after they rejected him for ages in the ot it’s not about salvation it’s a result of this and soecific to Israel’s covenant breakers
“But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, And be converted, And I should heal them.”

John 12:32-33 KJV
John 12:31-32
God draws us with loving kindness .
Yes, bro, I agree with John, but does drawing all men mean all will come? Only those God gives to Jesus WILL come. All hear the words, but hearing means different things, too, context
provides clues, unless one is a universalist, because Jesus says all who hear will live, and it is a reference to
future life. Jesus says those with ears to hear, let them hear. Well, who has those and where did they come from?
I did not gift myself with ears to hear and eyes to see or a heart equipped to love God. God did those things for me
I was raised to new life while I was dead in my sins.
John 5:24-25 ~ Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

I understand, well we know how undeserving we are. Hey, I am more undeserving than you! Heh. Like Paul we
should all be able to say I am chief among sinners, but no, instead we have some saying man is not that bad,
most likely because they see themselves as being a cut above others, and there is certainly evidence for this.
