The Lord Jesus invites all people... - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
John 6:37

The Lord Jesus invites all people: “Come to me” (Matthew 11:28). No one is excluded. Whether people may be hardened criminals or decent individuals, whether they have a messed-up life or a noble character – they are invited to come to Him and believe in Him. He died on the cross so that each person could be saved through personal faith in Him.

He promises, “The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out”. This has two meanings:

1. Whoever comes to Christ with his sins and believes that the Saviour bore the penalty for him on the cross will not be rejected. The Lord Jesus doesn’t turn away anyone who acknowledges their guilt to Him. A proof of this is the criminal who hung next to Jesus on the cross. He first confessed his guilt and acknowledged that he deserved his punishment: “We are receiving the due reward of our deeds.” Then he placed his trust in the Saviour: “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Immediately, he was accepted: “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:40-43).

2. Whoever has come to Him and has believed in Him can never be lost. They are the possession of the Saviour for time and eternity. Under no circumstances will the Lord cast out a believer. What security!
