Come and Really Live (7 of 12)
Series: The Great Invitations of the Bible
Richard Bradley
Isaiah 55:1-11
It goes without saying that there's a vast difference between living and really living; just existing or living an abundant life. This biblical invitation to really live is one that can be enjoyed by every Christian. This is a lifestyle only believers can apply for because those who are not saved are neither ready to die nor ready to really live.
So why are so many believers choosing to merely exist? 1- It could be that we are not aware of the many resources we believers have at our disposal; 2- It could be that we're not willing to trust the same God who has saved us; 3- It could be that we've become so tainted by this lost world that we find it almost impossible to access all of God's resources.
In this passage we discover both an invitation to real life and the necessary requirements and resources for living that life.
1 ''Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. 3 Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you - The sure mercies of David. 4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. 5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.'' 6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 ''For My thoughts ...
