“An Old Testament Invitation to Salvation”

 “An Old Testament Invitation to Salvation”

 

Seek the LORD while you can find Him.  Call on Him now while He is near.  Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of  doing wrong.  Let them turn to the LORD that He may have mercy on them.  Yes, turn to our God, for He will forgive generously.  Isaiah 55:6-7

 

This is an INVITATION to SALVATION for NOW and for what an ETERNITY in HEAVEN holds LATER, for those who will CALL upon the LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY.  Those who will SEEK the LORD, with ALL their HEART, while He is STILL NEAR.  This SEEKING should be done in FAITH, along with a REPENTANT HEART.  It SHOULD be carried out with a WILLINGNESS to TURN AWAY FROM  or FORSAKING their WICKED WAYS, and even the very THOUGHT of DOING WRONG.  They SHOULD be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and EMBRACE a GODLY way of LIFE.

 

The Prophet Isaiah made it CLEAR that a SINNER MUST COME BELIEVING in God, and CONFESSING their SINS to Him.  They SHOULD have a DESIRE to be FORGIVEN and DELIVERED from their SINS.  They MUST BE AWARE that THEY are HELPLESS and HOPELESS to SAVE THEMSELVES from being RIGHTEOUS before the ALMIGHTY GOD, and to provide an ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  They MUST SEEK His MERCY and GRACE, in order to be DELIVERED from the CURSE of spending an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there.  

 

The HOPE for US, NOW is through the SUPREME BLOOD SACRIFICE of God’s ONE and ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED, in OUR PLACE, for OUR SINS.  And Who had VICTORY OVER DEATH and the GRAVE when God RESURRECTED Him from the GRAVE, and He has given JESUS the VICTORY in the BATTLE for the SOULS of ALL MANKIND, those who will COME to GOD through the BLOOD of JESUS, to be FORGIVEN of their sins.  This is the ONLY WAY to be able to RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. 

 

To be able to ACCEPT this INVITATION for SALVATION, you MUST COME to God, ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  And you MUST HAVE a BELIEVING, REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESSING your SINS, and TURNING AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURNING TO GOD, SEEKING His MERCY and GRACE.  And ACCEPT His INVITATION to SALVATION and HEAVEN as your ETERNAL HOME.   Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!
