What is the meaning of 'whosoever will' in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

'Whosoever will' indicates that all who are genuinely thirsty for salvation can come to Christ freely, empowered by God's grace.

'Whosoever will' captures the inclusivity of the gospel message, inviting all to come to Christ without reservation. It emphasizes that anyone who recognizes their need for salvation and seeks Him with a sincere heart will not be turned away, as shown in Revelation 22:17. This phrase signifies an open invitation, but it is one that is conditioned by God's grace; for apart from divine enablement, no one would be willing to come. Therefore, this call reflects the mystery of God’s sovereignty in the act of coming to faith, highlighting that true willingness to seek Christ stems from divine action.
