The Free Offer of the Gospel

The gospel of God is to be offered freely to all. Accordingly, all who hear the gospel have a warrant to believe it. As Samuel Rutherford wrote, 'reprobates have as fair a warrant to believe as the elect have.'

This week we consider the offer of the gospel made freely by God, addressed to every sinner—indeed, addressed to you and to me.
