In Isaiah, chapter forty-five, verse twenty-two, “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” God extends the invitation to all individuals on the earth to repent and turn to Him for salvation. The gospel of Christ contains the same invitation, and God has commanded that His church take this good news to all the world, as in Matthew twenty-eight, verses nineteen through twenty, and Acts one, verse eight. This theme verse relates to chapter forty-two, verse one, “Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.” By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, would bring the standards of holy justice and the principles of divine truth to all the nations. Therefore, His work was missionary in nature.
The Lord desires the conversion of all people, as in Second Peter two, verse nine, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” as in John fourteen, verse six. Everyone encounters something that they experience and figure that they have the answer to everything, especially those who think they can use their wealth to resolve all matters. However, money or riches cannot buy everything, particularly the physical and emotional side of humanity.
There are times when people cry out to God for help when they are alone, and also try to blame Him when things are not going right.
