Salvation Satisfaction The Bible says, “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. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall
live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given him
for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that
thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy
One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
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.” Isaiah 55:1-7 (KJV) Thomas
Wilcox writes: “When we come to God, we must bring nothing but Christ with us. Any ingredients, or any previous qualifications
of our own, will poison and corrupt faith. He that builds upon duties, graces, etc. knows not the merits of Christ....[You]
must everyday denounce as dung and dross your privileges, your obedience, your baptism, your sanctification, your duties,
your graces, your tears, your meltings, your humblings...your workings, your self-sufficiency must be destroyed. You must
take all from God’s hand. Christ is the gift of God...Ah, how nature storms, frets, rages at this, that all is a gift,
and it can purchase nothing with its actings and tears and duties, that all workings are excluded, and of no value in heaven.”
The free gift of eternal life is being offered! Now is the time to accept
and live forever with the Lord or reject and suffer eternally! Daily Chronological
