"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.  And let him that heareth say, Come.
And llet him that is athirst come.  And whosever will, let him take  the water
of life freely" (Revelation  22:17)

One could not imagine a more clearcut invitation ro received Gods FREE gift
of eternal life that this final climactic invitation of the Bible,  ANYONE who 
is thirising for the water of lifemay come and drink freely, for Jesus said,
"If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink" (John 7:37)

Whoever will may come! "There is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11,
plus about seven other references), and the Sciptures abound with "whosoever"
assurances.  "Whosever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life" (John 3:6).  "Whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins"
(Acts 10:43).  "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God.
God dwelleth in him, and he in God" (I John 4:15).

"Jesus Christ the righteous...is the propitiation...for  the sins of the whole
world" (I John 2:1-2).  Therefore, "by the righteousness of one the free gift
came upon ALL men, unto justification of life" (Romans 5:19)

Such promises as these (and many more in the Word of God) make it very clear
that the substitutionary death of Christ is  sufficient to "[take] away the
sin of the world" (John 1:29), that salvation and eternal life are offered as
a FREE gift of God's grace to anyone who will accept it, and that anyone who
will may come! 

It is ONLY the voluntary act of  oour own wills that is required, but there
are many of whom Jesus must say; "Ye will not come to me. that ye might have
life" (John 5:40)

Christianity is a personal relationship, not a religion
