Return to Me and Live
Return to Me and Live
“Since it is the will of God that none should perish, but that all should return to Him and live, this precious invitation is not merely from man’s heart or lips, but is from the heart of God Himself. We are but Christ’s ambassadors, who plead with men to be reconciled to God. The blessed implication of these words is that the free offer of salvation and the invitations of the gospel have the sanction of the sanctions of God’s Word. We find them in every part of Scripture. Our Lord addressed men in these words: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Since all men enter the world are under a burden of guilt and sin, therefore, these words are addressed to all men. None is excluded. One of the last words of the Bible is, “Come”. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come”. The Church unites in uttering the same word as Christ and the Spirit. So do all who hear and obey God’s voice.”
