GOD INVITES YOU
God is a God of Invitation! Look at His Word:
Isaiah 1:18:
"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
Take a look at Isaiah 55:1:
"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost."
This is God who is talking!
Didn't Jesus say "Come unto Me and I will give you rest?"
And I also see that God invited Noah into the ark, where He was. Isn't that a great picture of salvation?
Best of all, look at Revelation 22:17. You know the qualifications for coming to Him? You must be thirsty and you must be willing. That's it. Take time today to look up other references besides these, where God openly invites people to receive His blessing.
