Just as I am!!!
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine

The phrase “Just as I am ” presupposes that I may be the worst sinner, or worst offender but I still can come to God with all my faults

The verse above assures us that God has already redeemed each of us. You (all mankind) are mine! ( thou art mine)

Isaiah 43:2 says , whether you pass through water, floods, fire, whatever it is, it shall not overwhelm you.( Paraphrased) Why?

Because, I have redeemed you and called you by name. So you can come with all your faults and offences and I will receive you if you also accept my gift of salvation ( Romans 10:9-10)

2 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you

This verse from the new testament reaffirms the fact that we can come to God, just as we are with all our faults.

He cares for us, and understands we are weak . He will receive all of us if we accept the gift of salvation.
God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Pray for grace and strength to obey God’s commands always.

Song for meditation

Let this hymn be your confession and prayer

Just as I am
Without one plea
But thou thy blood
Was shed for me
And that blood
Bids me come to thee
Oh lamb of God
I come
I come

Abridged version in french

Et votre sang
Dit a moi
Viens, viens
Oh Mon Seigneur
Je viens
Je viens
Amen
