Does God lead everyone to repentance?

The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that while God commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30), not all are led to repentance by His goodness. The goodness of God may indeed induce repentance, but it is particularly effective among those whom He has elected to save. This differentiation underscores God's sovereignty and grace; He gives some individuals 'space to repent,' while others do not experience this divine prompting. Therefore, understanding the distinction between God's general call to repentance and His specific leading of the elect highlights the profound mystery of God's salvific work.
