“Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
– Isaiah 55:7
This is the fundamental invitation of God! He is merciful and gracious. He wants to have a relationship with people, regardless of who they are. Nobody has to do anything to make that relationship possible because Jesus already did everything required. People just need to recognize that they’ve distanced themselves from God by sin and turn away from those sins, coming to the Lord, asking forgiveness in the name of Jesus. When they do, they will always be forgiven and welcomed into God’s family as a gift of grace given through faith in Jesus.
Who in your life needs to hear this invitation today? Who needs to know that God is compassionate and forgiving? That He’s always ready to welcome them with open arms when they turn from their sinful ways and embrace Jesus as their Lord? That there’s a place in God’s family for them? That it isn’t too late to live a transformed life pleasing to God?
Now, what are you waiting for… go tell them this good news!!! #FollowJesus
