Why is the call to come to Christ not universal?

Answered in 1 source

The call to come to Christ is specific and is directed towards those who are heavy laden (Matthew 11:28).

Christ’s call to come to Him in Matthew 11:28 is particular, directed at those who are laboring under the weight of sin and guilt. This is significant because it implies that not all will respond to the call; it is only those whom God has humbled and brought to a recognition of their true spiritual condition who will hear and answer this appeal. This underscores the reality of sovereign grace, where God reveals His truth to the humble and to those who are receptive to His grace, separating them from the wise and prudent who rely on their own understanding.
