The phrase “come as you are” isn’t directly from the Bible or Jesus. Matthew 22:10-14’s parable of the wedding feast shows the importance of readiness to meet God’s standards. I believe encountering God should lead to personal growth, not staying unchanged. Using “come as you are” as an excuse for complacency contradicts spiritual growth. I advocate for genuine renewal and living according to God’s standards, cautioning against false teachings promoting stagnation. #marcusvbrown #izfly
