What does the Bible say about the free offer of the gospel?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible does not support the notion of a free offer of the gospel to all, including the reprobate, as it is contrary to the teachings of predestination.

Scripture consistently emphasizes the particularity of God's electing grace rather than a universal offer of the gospel that includes the reprobate. Ephesians 1:7-14 illustrates that God's mystery is made known specifically to the elect, indicating that redemption and forgiveness are reserved for those chosen in Christ. The concept of the free offer as widely interpreted by proponents lacks biblical foundation and leads to confusion about God's intentions regarding salvation.
