God's Great Invitations For Salvation

 

God's Great Invitations For Salvation

     The Lord Jesus gave many great invitations for salvation with eternal life, peace, and joy in the Word of God. Jesus said at Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Jesus promised if you accept His free invitation of salvation by faith, His blood shed at the cross of Calvary will cleanse you from your sins and wash you white as snow. 

     Jesus gave sinners another great invitation for salvation when He said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Whoever reads this anywhere on earth, you have a choice to either accept or reject Jesus' great invitation for salvation. If you remain neutral and do nothing about this blessed invitation, it is a rejection that ends up in hell. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. I pray in Jesus name that you accept Jesus' free invitation of salvation by faith and guarantee an eternal life of peace with Jesus in heaven.

     Salvation is not in a plan. Salvation is in a person named Jesus. John 1:12 says But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. God's great invitation for salvation is only through one door named Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

     Jesus was the one door in Noah's ark to be saved from the flood. Everyone had to enter Noah's ark through one door named Jesus to be saved. The snail had to crawl on the ground through the door to enter the ark. The eagle had to fly down to the door to enter the ark. And all sinners on this earth have to go through the door (Jesus) by faith to receive God's great invitation and gift of salvation. The ground is level at the foot of the cross. With Jesus there are no big I's and little you's. Good people and wicked people go through the same door Jesus to get saved. Rich people, poor people, young people, and old people go through the same door Jesus to get saved. 

     Jesus said at John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Accept Jesus' great invitation of salvation. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 

More Of God's Great Invitations For Salvation

     The Lord Jesus gave several other great invitations for salvation. The Holy Spirit (that is Jesus) gave a great invitation for salvation at Revelation 22:17 that says And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. In other words come as you are to Jesus (whosoever will) with your past sins and Jesus will receive you, save you, and remove all your sins past, present, and future. 

     Don't refuse to get saved with Jesus saying you have too much sin in your life that can not be overlooked and forgiven. Remember Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. Notice that the scripture says that Jesus first loved us in our filthy sins and then washed us from our sins in His own blood. The scripture did not say Unto Him that washed us from our sins in His own blood and then loved us. 

     Another great invitation for salvation from Jesus occurred at Revelation 3:20 where Jesus said Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Just open the door for Jesus by faith and get saved no matter how you feel. Salvation is by faith in the true facts of God's Word and does not depend on your feelings.

To everyone that says I can't get saved until I feel that I'm saved

You don't feel salvation before you accept Jesus' invitation for salvation

You only feel salvation after you accept Jesus' invitation for salvation by faith

God's Order For Salvation Pictured Above Is Fact Faith Feeling

 It's Not Feeling Faith Fact That Most People Want For Salvation

Be Like Zacchaeus And Quickly Receive God's Great Invitation For Salvation

Don't Be Like Esau And Reject God's Great Invitation For Salvation

       Be like Zacchaeus and quickly receive God's great invitation for salvation. Luke 19:5 says And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him (in a sycomore tree), and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received Him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. This is the only place in the bible where a sinner was looking down at God and God (Jesus) was looking up at a sinner.

Jesus Said Zacchaeus Come On Down

Before The Price Is Right Was Ever Heard Of

     Be like Zacchaeus and come down humbly from your pride while you make haste (come quickly) to Jesus and receive God's great invitation for salvation. Even though Jesus is high and lofty, Jesus will receive humble and contrite sinners that come to Him by faith. Isaiah 57:15 says For thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.  

     Don't be like Esau and reject God's great invitation for salvation. You can delay getting saved and miss any future opportunity for salvation. Esau found no place of repentance (that is required for salvation according to 2 Corinthians 7:10) and could not find salvation though he sought it carefully with tears. Esau traded his birthright and salvation for his selfish need of hunger and a bowl of pottage (soup) and ended up in hell. 

     Hebrews 12:16 speaks about Esau saying Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, thou he sought it carefully with tears. Don't be like Esau and delay getting saved, risking eternity in hell with no future chance of salvation. Instead get saved right now today. Jesus told us at 2 Corinthians 6:2 For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Don't Be Like George Wilson And Refuse An Invitation For Salvation

Prisoner George Wilson Refused A Pardon From President Andrew Jackson

Choosing To Stay In Prison Instead Of Being A Free Citizen

Click This Youtube Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhGtf3q5KFI

To View The Story About How Prisoner George Wilson Refused A Pardon

     In 1829, George Wilson was sentenced to be hanged to death for murder. Before Mr. Wilson's hanging, influential friends pleaded for mercy to President Andrew Jackson on behalf of George Wilson. Subsequently, President Jackson issued a formal pardon dropping all charges. But when the pardon was presented to George Wilson by a warden for his freedom, George Wilson refused to accept the pardon, choosing to stay in prison ten more years instead of being a free citizen. This was the first time ever on record that a prisoner had refused a pardon. 

      This issue about how to handle a refusal of a pardon went before the United States Supreme Court for a ruling. Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that a pardon is an act of grace, proceeding from the power entrusted with the execution of the laws. But delivery is not completed without acceptance. It may then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered and we have no power in Court to force it on him. In other words a pardon is no good unless it is accepted by the one it is offered to.

     History tells us that while George Wilson refused the pardon, he avoided being hung. A report in the National Gazette of Philadelphia dated January 14, 1841 suggests that George Wilson was in prison for ten years until released. He received another pardon from President Martin Van Buren that he accepted. 

     Don't be like George Wilson and refuse Jesus' pardon that sets you free from the prison of sin. Isaiah spoke Jesus' pardon at Isaiah 55:7 that says Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him;, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Unlike George Wilson, accept Jesus' free pardon that not only pardons you (but abundantly pardons you with eternal peace and joy) and sets you free from sin, hell, and the lake of fire. Jesus promised us at John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. And Paul encouraged us at Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 

     Like George Wilson who refused a pardon, we are all sinners without Jesus before salvation, enslaved in the devil's prison. Jesus told us at John 8:34 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. But Jesus died on the cross of Calvary and gave sinners a free pardon and invitation for salvation. Today Jesus is offering you His free pardon to set you free from your sins with eternal life. All you have to do to receive this pardon is accept the pardon by faith for salvation. If you reject Jesus' free pardon, you will end up in hell.

     Getting saved is as easy as ABC. A-Admit that you are a sinner, repent, and decide to stop sinning. B- Believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. C-Confess that Jesus is God. Jesus Himself spoke His pardon to sinners at John 3:18 that says He that believeth on Him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

     King Solomon also stated Jesus' pardon at Proverbs 3:5 that says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Finally Paul stated Jesus' pardon at Romans 10:9 that says That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will (unlike George Wilson) accept Jesus' free pardon, get saved, and be set free from sin, death, and hell.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

 

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

Inspired After Reading Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ At The Link Below

https://www.monergism.com/unsearchable-riches-christ

     Like Paul I'm going to preach about the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ. Paul said at Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. I'm not preaching about myself. I'm preaching about Jesus and His unsearchable riches. Everything you need is with Jesus. Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. Colossians 1:27 says that if you have Jesus, you have great riches and everything you need to succeed in life. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

     Right now choose Jesus and his unsearchable riches of eternal life, peace, and joy. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning; confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Then you can proclaim Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 

     And if you deny sin and live for Jesus you can pray for your requests in Jesus name and get blessed. Just pray for what you need in Jesus name (not in Christ's name) and you will receive your request. The name of our Lord is Jesus (not Christ). Pray in Jesus name. Matthew 1:25 says And (Joseph) knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS. How comforting to just ask for your requests in Jesus name to overcome trouble. 

     Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name (Jesus), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Jesus also said at John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.

Three Examples Of How To Find The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

Stated By Thomas Brooks And John Henry Jowett (1863-1923)

     First Thomas Brooks said finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a miner searching for gold. The miner pictured above searching for gold will discover that with Jesus there is gold stretching out everywhere overwhelming him with everlasting joy. In heaven with Jesus, the gold with Jesus is better than infinite amounts of gold on this fading earth. In heaven with Jesus, saints won't just own gold. They will be walking on a street of pure gold, as it were transparent glass, living forever in a city of pure gold, like unto clear glass, surrounded by a beautiful jasper wall. 

     Revelation 21:18 describes new Jerusalem saying And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. Revelation 21:21 says And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

     The foundations of the wall of the beautiful heavenly city displaying the 12 names of the apostles (Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthias, James the Lesser, Son of Alphaeus Cleophas, Simon the Zealot Canaanite, Thomas, Matthew, and Lebbaeus or Jude whose surname was Thaddaeus) will be garnished with precious gemstones (sardius, sardonyx, jasper, diamond, chrysolyte, topaz, beryl, carbuncle, chrysoprasus, emerald, chalcedony, sapphire, agate, jacinth, ligure, and amethyst) forming a beautiful rainbow that encircles the heavenly city. 

     Finally there will be 12 gates with a pearl and angel in each gate displaying the names of the 12 tribes listed at Revelation 7:5-8 (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Manasses, Gad, Aser, Nepthalim, Zabulon, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin; note that Dan and Ephraim were removed from the 12 tribes for worshipping idols).

     Next John Henry Jowett described the unsearchable riches of Jesus like beautiful heather flowers growing on a moor field in Scotland pictured above. Mr. Jowett said that finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a little child gathering heather flowers at the edge of a moor field who lifts up her eyes and catches sight of the purple glory of a boundless moor with infinite heather. 

     Finally Thomas Brooks said finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a man walking around the edge of a beautiful lake who when the circuit was almost completed discovers that it was not just a lake but the arm of a vast ocean leading to an immeasurable pure river of water of life in heaven. 

     John described the pure river of water of life in heaven at Revelation 22:1: And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Someone once said that the foam on an ocean beach is what little we now understand about Jesus. But the vast water of all the oceans on earth beyond our sight displays the unsearchable riches of Jesus.

     The wisdom and riches with Jesus are unsearchable with new blessings always to discover forever and ever. Ephesians 3:20 says Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Friends when you have Jesus with His unsearchable riches you have everything you need. Philippians 4:19 says But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

     When I get to heaven, Brother Bob wants to be a librarian for Jesus. This is because John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. 

     Friends you won't get bored in heaven when you read the infinite books about Jesus and his miracles. The KJV bible is just a microscopic account about Jesus. There are many other infinite records of Jesus' miracles and blessings recorded in heaven's books for saints to discover. What a joy to be Jesus' librarian and read and tell saints on earth and in heaven about the miracles recorded in the infinite books about our Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus Are Better Than Anything On This Earth

Be Like The Wise Merchant Who Left Everything To Gain Jesus' Riches

Choose The Gleanings Of Jesus' Riches 

Instead Of The Fading Vintage Of The World

     Be like the wise merchant who sold everything to buy Jesus (the pearl of great price) by faith without money and without price. The parable of the wise merchant is stated at Matthew 13:45 that says Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price (Jesus), went and sold all that he had, and bought it (by faith without money and without price). Like this wise merchant man choose to accept by faith Jesus' free offer of unsearchable riches that is better than anything on this earth. 

     Jesus is telling everyone at Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Be like Brother Bob who left the fading riches on this earth of millions of dollars from his Jewish relatives and chose the unsearchable riches of Jesus, rejoicing that preachbrotherbob blog has reached half a million people everywhere with untold numbers of people getting saved for our Lord Jesus.

     Thomas Brooks further described the unsearchable riches of Jesus when he said "One tiny grain of Jesus' grace is far beyond all the gold and vast wealth on this earth." To elaborate about this saying Thomas Brooks quoted Gideon who said at Judges 8:2 Is not the gleaning (leftover small portion) of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage (best and finest wines in this world) of Abiezer? In other words the gleanings and smallest gatherings of the unsearchable riches of Jesus are more ravishing and excellent than all the best riches of this fading world. I agree with Psalm 84:10 that says For a day in thy courts (Lord Jesus) is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 

Quotes From Thomas Brooks Describing The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

1) God Is A Sphere Whose Center is Everywhere 

And Whose Circumference Is Nowhere

     Wow what a quote from Thomas Brooks about the unsearchable riches of Jesus. "God is a sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere." King Solomon described this blessed quote at 1 Kings 8:27 that says But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? Jeremiah described this blessed quote at Jeremiah 23:24 that says Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

2) The Lord Jesus Is Neither Shut Up In Any Place Or Shut Out Of Any Place

     Another amazing quote about the unsearchable riches of Jesus stated by Thomas Brooks was "The Lord Jesus is neither shut up in any place or shut out of any place." King David described this blessed quote at Psalm 139:7 that says Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.   

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus 

Are Better Than The Fading Riches Of This World

     The unsearchable riches of Jesus are better than the fading riches of this world. King Solomon explained how Jesus who is wisdom is better than anything in this world at Proverbs 3:13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom (that is Jesus at 1 Corinthians 1:30), and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.

     King Cyrus wrote about a man named Pheraulus who valued the unsearchable riches of Jesus greater than the wealth of Cyrus. The story about Pheraulus can be found in the Greek historian Xenophon's book called the Cyropaedia that records the moral sayings of Cyrus the Great. Pheraulus was a poor man that received much gold and wealth from Cyrus. Being wearied out with care in keeping the riches, Pheraulus desired rather to live quietly though poor as he had done before than to possess abundant riches with misery. Pheraulus gave away all his wealth to fatherless orphans and widows in their affliction realizing that when he blessed the poor he obtained treasure that lasts forever in heaven with Jesus (Mark 10:21). Like Pheraulus remember 1 Timothy 6:6 that says But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

Satisfy And Give A Durable Enduring Blessing Forever

     Like Philip say John 14:8 Lord, shew us the Father (with Jesus' unsearchable riches), and it sufficeth (satisfies) us. In other words only faith in Jesus and His unsearchable riches satisfies forever. Earthly riches don't satisfy proven by Ecclesiastes 5:10 that says He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 

     Earthly riches are uncertain and don't last. Paul explained this at 1 Timothy 6:17 that says Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. On the other hand the unsearchable riches of Jesus are durable, enduring, and last forever. King Solomon explained this at Proverbs 8:18 that says Riches and honour are with me (wisdom and Jesus); yea, durable (enduring) riches and righteousness.

The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Wealth that can never be told

Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace; Precious more precious than gold 

Precious more precious; Wealth that can never be told

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Precious more precious than gold

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Who shall their greatness declare

Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn; Pearls that the poorest may wear

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Freely how freely they flow

Making the souls of the faithful and true; Happy wherever they go

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Who would not gladly endure

Trials, afflictions, and crosses on earth; Riches like these to secure

And Sing The Words Below For James Deck's Blessed Hymn From 1842

O Lamb Of God, Still Keep Me

O Lamb of God, still keep me; Near to thy wounded side

Tis only there in safety; And peace I can abide

What foes and snares surround me; What lusts and fears within

The grace that sought and found me; Alone can keep me clean

Tis only in thee hiding; I feel my life secure

Only in thee abiding; The conflict can endure

Thine arm the victory gaineth; Oer every hateful foe

Thy love my heart sustaineth; In all its care and woe

Soon shall my eyes behold thee; With rapture face to face

One half hath not been told me; Of all thy power and grace

Thy beauty Lord and glory; The wonders of thy love

Shall be the endless story; Of all the saints above
