After condemning the people of Israel for being far from God (Isaiah 1), the Lord makes this very warm invitation. Who can come to the Lord? Anyone! He will gather all who desire. He will teach us his ways and guide our paths. It does not depend on our preparation or our holiness. It depends on the good call of the Lord, who warmly calls us all to come with him.
What do we have to fear? There is no reason to doubt God's providence. What assurance of salvation do we have? God is good to his word and promise. Our Lord, who died for the sins of the whole world, promises to save all who believe on him.
