Does God command all sinners to repent and believe? Does God desire the salvation of all sinners? Yes, says the Bible, yes to both questions. But many who love the doctrines of grace are confused. They think God's absolute sovereignty in election, Christ's particular redemption of the elect, and the Holy Spirit's specific application of that redemption to the elect, conflicts with the 'free offer'. It does no such thing! If you doubt it, read this book! The argument is no trifling matter, no splitting of hairs. The 'free offer' is the biblical way of preaching the gospel. Today, we see the grievous consequences of too-little preaching the gospel as it ought to be preached. 'How the gold has become dim!' (Lam. 4:1). Within these pages, therefore, you will come across no apology for the 'free offer', no mere defence of it. Quite the reverse. You will find that the 'free offer' is a vital part of God's free grace, and that a return to the preaching of it in the biblical way is one of the great needs of the hour.
