What does the Bible say about God's invitation to salvation?

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus extends a gracious invitation, saying, 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' This invitation represents God's desire for humanity to come to Him for relief and salvation. From the earliest accounts in Scripture, such as God's call to Adam after the fall, we see that God reaches out to those in sin, though often they do not respond due to their fallen nature (Genesis 3). The biblical narrative consistently shows that despite human rebellion, God remains active in calling His people to Himself, emphasizing His sovereign grace.
