An Invitation To Salvation

the gospel of good things!” Notice the punctuation mark. This is not a question, but rather an exclamation. The one who is sent is the one who tells and allows you to hear those wonderful words of life. Have you ever noticed that about the time you are at your worst there is someone there to give you a word from God? Sadly, at our worst a word from God is seemingly the last thing we want to hear (kind of gets on your nerves). Yet the beauty, timeliness, or the welcome of Him comes from the fact that God put this messenger there at the very time you need him.
c. It is a challenge to respond to the message. Every time you hear a message from God it requires a response. Sadly, many fail to heed God’s call. Verse 16 reminds us that not everyone believes and obeys God. Why? Because it’s a challenge. His invitation is a challenging adventure.
3. It is a clear invitation. Let’s end with the verse we began with and answers 3 important questions;
a. Who has this personal invitation? Everyone. Whoever. Whosoever. That means you! Right now God is confirming in your heart this truth.
b. What must you do? The Bible says, “Call on the name of the Lord.” Look in verse 9 and 10 to understand what this call is all about.
c. Why must you do it? The answer is, “to be saved.” In trusting Jesus Christ with our lives we are saved FROM a place called hell, we are saved FOR the purpose of being Jesus to this world, and we are saved TO an eternal and everlasting life in Heaven with God himself. This super Sunday can be super for you, if you’ll begin your super new life in Jesus.
