Come and See Quotes

“The complaint of God that hearts drift far away from Him, must be addressed by each and every man, woman, and child in every age and generation. The people in exile refused to repent and give their hearts entirely to God. Lip service to God, adherence to the commandments out of fear, and rote knowledge of spiritual things didn't work in Isaiah's time. Neither did it work in Jesus' time. And it won't work today either. God wants your heart. Only you can five your heart to Him. He has given each human being free will. He won't force anyone to love Him. He only asks and invites. He gives everything and waits for each person's individual response. Mary said yes to God, even when she didn't fully understand His plan. Jesus said yes to the Father, knowing the cost He would pay to purchase our salvation. What should you do?”

“Throughout these oracles [Isaiah 13-18] against the many nations is the underlying revelation that God is over ALL the nations. And one day all nations will turn to Him.”
