How do we know that salvation is offered freely in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible repeatedly indicates that salvation is a free gift from God, emphasizing His grace and love.

In Isaiah 55:1, the invitation to 'come ye to the waters' is a clear message that spiritual life is available to all who thirst, without cost. This idea is reinforced in the New Testament, where Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). Throughout scripture, the theme that salvation cannot be earned through works but is instead a gracious gift from God is pivotal in Reformed theology. The notion that we come 'without money and without price' highlights our spiritual poverty and God’s abundant mercy. Furthermore, in Ephesians 1:3, we are told that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ, affirming that these gifts are unearned and freely given.
