Why is coming to Jesus important in the Christian faith?
Answered in 1 source
Coming to Jesus is crucial as He offers rest and salvation, fulfilling His promise that all who come to Him will not be cast out (John 6:37).
In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites all who labor and are heavy laden to come to Him for rest. This act of coming to Jesus embodies faith and trust in His redemptive work. The sermon emphasizes that the call to come is not merely an invitation but a divine command, ensuring that all whom the Father has given to Christ will indeed come (John 6:37). The assurance lies in the promise that no one who approaches Him with genuine faith will be rejected, reflecting the heart of the Gospel that Christ provides everything sinners need: forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. Thus, coming to Jesus signifies the acceptance of His grace and the beginning of a relationship with Him.
