the Bible's last invitation (revelation 22:17)

This message was preached by Jesse M. Boyd at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Claremont, NC on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2023. Its focus is the 3-fold invitation of Revelation 22:17, the very last invitation found in the Holy Bible.

The Spirit, the Bride, and those that hear the words of God BID CHRIST COME. Those that are thirsty and “whosoever will" are then invited to COME TO THE ONE BIDDEN TO COME by those who know Him. Come on! Come while there is yet time! Come to Him before He comes to you! Fall on Him and be broken, or He will fall upon you and grind you to powder (Luke 20:18).

The very first word of God ever revised by man (Genesis 3:2) is found in the Bible’s very first invitation (Genesis 2:16). Interestingly, it also appears in the Bible’s very last invitation, and it’s a great stumblingblock to both Jew and Gentile. Notwithstanding, eternal life and reconciliation with God by Jesus the Messiah is and remains a FREE GIFT. Drink before it is too late. The water of life is free, but it isn’t cheap. It’s available, but it’s certainly not automatic.
