Isaiah 55 - God's Invitation

 

Isaiah 55 – God’s Invitation

 

To every man in every station of life, to every race, tribe, tongue, condition, and color; for everyone who is thirsty for salvation God urges you to seek after Him.

To be thirsty does not mean to need it but to want it. We still have a chance to accept or not accept His invitation. If you want it, you must seek it. God is offering it free of charge. Jesus already paid for it on the cross. His water is for the soul. He is the fountain that we drink from.

 

Wine in biblical times symbolized joy. Joy is what you have when you not only experience Jesus Christ but when He becomes a big part of your life.

 

Milk is for spiritual growth. We as Christian should long for the Word of God. It is something we must read for ourselves and learn. What we were brought up to believe by our parents may not be in accordance with what the Bible says directly. We must search out our own salvation and one way to do that is to be filled with the milk of God’s word. The Word of God is also our bread to fill us up, to satisfy our needs. Money at one time was called bread but it does not satisfy us. The things of this world are expensive, but we cannot take a single thing with us when we die. The bread of God, however, can be taken into eternity.

 

We are the nation that God calls to from the Word of God. Once you are baptized and accept Christ, you become one of His. The following is up to you. The only thing that keeps you from following Christ is the sin in your life that you don’t want to give up. Once you repent of your sins, then you will become thirsty and will follow Him.

 

The Word of God is not given to us by man, it is given to us by God through scholarly men who put it down in writing.  God’s word can only come through revelation because man’s mind does not follow the route of redemption. The Word of God is accurate, reliable, and an important source for Salvation. It is given to us freely like the rain from heaven. It comes to us in abundance and will wash away all our sins.
