Summary: Come to the Lord just as you are.
The phrase “Come as you are” is often used in Christian circles to express that God accepts people just as they are, without requiring them to “clean themselves up” before approaching Him. He’s waiting on you before we think that we can get ourselves together. So, while this exact phrase doesn’t appear in the Bible, the concept is deeply biblical.
There is no Bible translation—including the KJV, NIV, ESV, or any others translation—that contains the exact phrase “come as you are.” That wording is not found verbatim in any official Bible version.
However, there are some key scriptures that reflect the heart of “Come as you are”:
Like Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
This is a direct invitation from Jesus to all who are weary and burdened—He doesn’t require perfection first, instead he requires confession.
Because if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Isaiah 1:18 says:
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow…”
The Lord invites people to come even in their sinful state, to come as you are, promising us forgiveness and transformation.
Revelation 22:17 says:
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
This is a call to all who are thirsty for life, without prerequisites.
In other words don’t worry about what people have to say about you just come.
It doesn’t matter what you have on. Just come.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any money to put in the offering. Just come.
Watch this
Romans 5:8 says:
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
God loved and acted on our behalf before we ever changed—He met us where we were, so that he could bring us up to where he is.
So while “Come as you are” is not a direct Bible verse, it’s a faithful summary of God’s gracious invitation to all people, no matter your condition.
It doesn’t matter who your hairdresser might be. Just come.
It doesn’t matter if you have on a wig,
a toupee,
quick weave,
sew in,
extensions,
cornroll,
Lace Front,
Full Lace,
360 Lace,
Twist-Out,
Finger Waves,
It doesn’t matter if it’s fried, died, or laid to the side. It does not matter if you just put it up in a bun, just come.
Because we have to get to the point where we tell people, leave me alone, because I didn’t come here to see you, I came to see Jesus.
Because if we listen to people, it will set us back, set us off, and make us not want to see Jesus for ourselves
You see the idea behind “come as you are” is strongly reflected in several verses, especially those where Jesus invites people to come to Him regardless of their spiritual condition.
He not looking to see if you got on Gucci, or Louis Vuitton, he just wanna know if your heart is right. Because everybody can’t afford clothing like you can. Some of us have to fake it till we make it.
Jesus invites people to come to Him regardless of their spiritual condition.
In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says- Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
It sounds like “come as you are.”
Isaiah 55:1 “Isaiah 23:1 says- Ho, the word Ho here is translated (Is anyone thirsty?). It says Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
This verse expresses God’s open invitation, regardless of your condition or ability to “pay.”
So, when people be talking about well pastor I didn’t come to church because I didn’t have any money. There are a lot of days when I came to church and didn’t have any money. But I came anyway.
And when I came, I was able to get a word from the Lord to know that, even though I might not have anything in my pocket right now, the Lord is able to provide.
I didn’t have any money, but I learned that the Lord will make a way out of no way.
