Free Offer of the Gospel

In view of both the 282nd anniversary of Edwards' preaching of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and our evangelism efforts, we consider the doctrine of the free offer of the gospel. We consider how one who believes in the Doctrines of Grace relays the gospel to the world. We ask and answer, how do the doctrines of reprobation and election factor in to preaching Christ? Is it proper to invite souls to take Christ and offer Him to them? Is the gospel to be offered freely to all and the invitation given to all without exclusion? Do the reprobate have a warrant to believe the gospel? Is the gospel to be preached in a manner that men are to turn from their sin before placing their faith in Christ? These are some of the questions answered by Scripture and summarized by the doctrine of the Free Offer of the Gospel.
