When God Says "Come"

Intro.

1. The Bible contains God’s call to the world to come to Him and find forgiveness, peace, joy, and sure hope.

2. Explore a few of the times when God called people to do something to learn how to respond when God tells us to “come.”

I. COME INTO THE ARK, Gen. 7:1. (cf. heaven)

A. God’s Call to be Saved from Wrath, Gen. 6:13; 1 Pet. 3:20.

1. God desires all to be saved, 1 Tim. 2:3-4.

2. Few will be saved, Lk. 13:23-24. Why?

3. Most will choose not to “go into the ark.” Matt. 7:13-14

B. “Because I Have Seen You Righteous,” cf. 6:22; 7:5.

1. Does God see that you are righteous?
