What does the Bible say about the need to come to Christ?

The call to come to Christ is underscored throughout Scripture, as demonstrated in Ezra 10:8, where those who did not come to Jerusalem within three days faced forfeiture of all they owned and separation from the congregation. This foreshadows the eternal consequences for those who reject Christ. Just as the gospel calls out to sinners today, the urgency is clear: failing to respond results in spiritual separation and loss. This truth reverberates through the teachings of the apostles, who remind us that without Christ, we are left to our own devices, ultimately leading to forfeiture of our eternal worth.
