What does it mean that God commands us to come to Him?

Answered in 1 source

God's command to come is an invitation filled with grace, assuring us of His willingness to accept us through Christ.

When God calls sinners to come to Him, as illustrated in the sermon with the command 'Come unto me,' this is an expression of His sovereign grace. It signifies not only His desire for communion with us but also His promise of acceptance through Jesus Christ. The preacher points out that sinners, by nature, are reluctant to approach God due to their sinfulness; however, this command clears any doubt about His willingness to receive us. The assurance lies in the fact that those who respond to this call find mercy, forgiveness, and reconciliation in Christ, who bids us come despite our unworthiness.
