But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith that we preach), because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:8-9 NET
It is not what life brings to us but to whom we belong that determines Christ’s heart of love for us.
The only thing required to enjoy such love is to come to Him. To chase Him. To seek Him, asking Him to take us in.
He does not say, “Whoever comes to me with sufficient regret,” or “Whoever comes to me feeling bad enough for their sin,” or “Whoever comes to me with redoubled efforts.”
He says, “Whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”
Amazing grace.
