What does it mean to be not offended by the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Not being offended by the gospel means accepting and embracing the truth of Christ without rejection or shame.

To be not offended by the gospel is to recognize the radical claims of Christ and the offense they may pose to human pride and self-righteousness. The Scriptures indicate that many stumble over the truths of God's sovereignty and the absolute nature of grace, as articulated in Galatians 5:11. When one understands the gospel's revelation of man's complete inability and the necessity of divine intervention, they respond with faith rather than offense. This willingness to accept the truth of the gospel leads to true blessedness, as articulated in Luke 7:23, where Jesus assures those who embrace Him that they are indeed blessed.
