How do we know that God commands all to come to His feast?

Answered in 1 source

God commands all to come to His feast through the proclamation of the Gospel, asserting that salvation is available to all who believe.

The command to come is articulated in Jesus' parable, where He sends His servant to announce the readiness of the supper, reflecting God's sovereign authority over salvation. This command is not a mere invitation but an imperative, showcasing God's desire for all to partake in His grace and mercy. Ephesians 3:11 reminds us that this was His eternal purpose. By coming to Christ, sinners acknowledge their need for redemption, fulfilling the command to turn from sin and embrace the salvation offered in the Gospel. The notion of compulsion in the Gospel reflects God's determination that His house be full of those He has chosen to save.
