Why is Christ's command to come important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's command to come is vital because it emphasizes the divine sovereignty in salvation and assures believers of their rest in Him.

The command for sinners to come to Christ is of utmost importance for Christians as it highlights the nature of salvation as an act of God’s grace. When Jesus commands us to come, it is not optional; His call is always effectual. This understanding reinforces the belief that salvation does not depend on human will but on God’s sovereign choice. Christians find their assurance and rest in trusting that it is not their own efforts but Christ's finished work that secures their salvation, as expressed in His declaration of providing rest for the weary soul. This rest signifies the completion of all that is necessary for redemption, allowing believers to cease from their own works and rely entirely upon Christ.
