Drink From the Well of Salvation!
By: Robert A. Searles
Come, Drink at the well of Salvation!
At the very beginning of our Lord's ministry on earth, John the Baptist
pointed to Jesus and cried out, "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away
the sin of the world." John 1: 29.
"All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all" Isaiah 53: 6
We are invited to come to the well
of salvation to wash and be made clean, and to drink of the water of
life freely. By the grace of God we can all come to the well of
salvation and dip our cup.
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12; 3.
When the cup is drawn up, it
is filled to over flowing.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over." Psalm23:5
Anyone can dip his cup in the well of salvation free of charge, its on the house, God's house.
"And he said unto me, it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Revelation 21:6.
"And the Spirit and the bride say come, and
let him that heareth say, come, and let him that is athirst come, and
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:
17.
We can dip our cup freely and enjoy the benefits of salvation.
Access to the well of salvation is expensive, but the admission price
has been paid for all of us who have, and those who will receive it.
Consider the price of admission to the well of salvation, but also
consider the gift that is yours by God's grace to draw water from the
well of salvation.
"The
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Free to all who will
ask, free to all who will take. Free to use but not abuse. Free to have
and enjoy, but not to hoard and keep from others. It is our
responsibility to advertise the gift, but make known the cost. It cost
God our Father his only begotten son, and it cost the son, our savior
his life.
"For
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting
life." John 3:16
"Freely
ye have received, freely give."
