God's Inclusive Conditions
Commentators explain that God's welcome, even to those previously excluded like eunuchs, is based on spiritual commitment, not physical status. The conditions are keeping His Sabbaths (representing faithful worship), choosing what pleases Him over personal preference, and holding fast to His covenant. This demonstrates that a relationship with God is open to all who sincerely follow Him.
