What does it mean that the gospel came to us?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel coming to us signifies that God initiates our salvation, drawing us to Himself through His Word.

Scripture makes it clear that the gospel comes to us, not that we come to it. This divine initiative is essential because, as John 6:44 states, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This emphasizes our inability to seek God apart from His calling. The gospel, being the proclamation of Christ, is directly linked to the power of God which opens our hearts to receive it. Thus, the act of God bringing the gospel to us is crucial for true conversion and understanding of His grace.
