Whosoever will may come
“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.” (Revelation 22:17)
One could not imagine a more
clearcut invitation to receive God’s free gift of eternal life than this final
climactic invitation of the Bible.
Anyone who is thirsting for the
water of life may come and drink freely, for Jesus said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink” (John 7:37).
Whosoever will may come! “There is no respect of persons with God”
(Romans 2:11, plus about seven other
references), and the Scriptures abound with
“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
“Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die” (John 11:26).
“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of
God, God dwelleth in him, and he in
God” (1 John 4:15).
“Jesus Christ the righteous: . . . is the propitiation . . . for the
sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:1-2).
Therefore, “by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life” (Romans 5:18).
Such promises as these (and many
more in the Word of God) make it very clear that the substitutionary death of
Christ is sufficient to “[take] away the
sin of the world” (John 1:29).
Salvation and eternal life are
offered as a free gift of God’s grace to anyone who will accept it, and that
anyone who will may come!
It is only the voluntary act of our own wills that is
required, but there are many of whom Jesus must say: “Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John
Would you want to have a
deeper relationship with God?
God
has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life by
receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say
the following prayer:
“Father
God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I am
truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past
sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please
forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I
believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the
dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I
invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from
this day forward. Thank You that according to your Word, I am now born again.
Please
send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of
my life. I promise to study Your Word - the Bible.
Please
use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

Like the woman at the well, I was
seeking
For things that could not satisfy. And then I heard my Savior speaking— “Draw from My well that never shall run dry.” |
Fill my cup, Lord;
I lift it up Lord; Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more. Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole. |

There are millions in this world who
are seeking
For pleasures earthly goods afford. But none can match the wondrous treasure That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord. |

So my brother if the things that this
world gives you
Leave hungers that won’t pass away, My blessed Lord will come and save you If you kneel to Him and humbly pray— |
