How the thirsty soul can know a free and full salvation

Salvation, full and free. Seek ye the Lord. The welcome words of Isaiah 55 from preacher Jesse Trumble.

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.

God's invites us to freely feast and drink, without money and without price. Jesus is saying that he has something here for the thirsty soul. He offers pardon that brings joy. He fills the searching soul and satisfies our deepest need of life. His offer is free.

A life spent only for pleasures and temporal things like power, influence or wealth is just a waste. The Prodigal Son went to a far country, threw away his money, and ended up in a pigsty. A life that pursues after that which is not of God ends up in the pigsty.

Here is something that satisfies this hunger and this thirst. A life lived with God is truly full.

God is convicting us to come to him and hear his words. The Holy One of Israel is the Lord Jesus Christ. He calls us to pursue him and to forsake our ways and our thoughts. He offers mercy to us and his promise to pardon us abundantly.

This offer of pardon is only for a limited time. Today is the day of salvation.

Isaiah 55:6-9 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 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. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God is still on the throne and he never forsakes his own. The Holy Bible goes forth, and it feeds, judges, condemns, guides, protects, and fulfills its promises. Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Our thoughts and ways are wicked and against God, but Jesus has the answer for your life. Cry out to him for help, turn unto him, and you will know his saving love. He will abundantly pardon.
