Bible Question: IN ISAIAH 55 V 1 GOD THREW THIS PROPHET SAYS AND YOU WHO HAVE NO MONEY COME BUY AND EAT. COME BUY WINE AND MILK WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT COST. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DOES THE WORD BUY IN THIS TEXT REALLY MEAN IF IN THE WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY IT MEANS TO PURCHASE IN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY OR ANYTHING THAT IS BOUGHT.I'M NOT DEBATING GOD'S ABILITY TO SUPPLY WITHOUT A EXCHANGE I'M JUST WONDERING HOW TO LOOK AT THE WORD BUY IN THIS TEXT? THANK'S FUN |
Bible Answer: Hello Fun, The "buy" is figurative or poetic in coming to the saving Grace of Jesus Christ. Where literally you cannot buy anything from heaven with money but you can buy (figuratively) eternity with your soul when we have given your all to the Lord and come to know His fullness upon your rebirth, presenting ourselves a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1). So in a certain way, by giving all that we have and giving every item that we hold dear for the blessing of Grace that only comes through Jesus Christ, one could say we "buy" salvation. (Those that have an ear let them hear). DO NOT take the "buying" as literally purchasing salvation through something we have done. Plus, salvation really is "without cost" as the text states, for we came into this world with nothing and whatever we do have has come from the Lord anyway, so truly salvation costs nothing. Buy the Lord with your spirit, buy the Lord with your soul and buy the Lord with your body. Compare: Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Compare: Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Heaven" also "I am the True Vine", come buy of Me, hunger and thirst no more. by Grace, eklektos |
