   A gentleman called me recently to discuss the idea of men having free will. He believed that if a person can choose his own destiny, then he is working against God's will. Therefore he believes that a concept of free will is at odds with the Biblical teaching that God is all-powerful.

   Apr 3, 2016 · There are two forces at work in this world that are difficult to reconcile: human free will and God’s influence. On the one hand, those who accept the sovereignty of God believe that He can both foreknow and determine the result of any situation He desires.

   The free-will offerings of Christians was the only manner in which the Lord's church funded her works in the Bible. Those who follow the New Testament today, will not support church car washes, bake sales, yard/garage sales or auctions, walk-a-thons, etc.

   This means, Paul says, that in this condition we “cannot please God,” or, to put it another way, “we are not able not to sin.” The basic reason is that the natural person prefers his own autonomy and his own glory above the sovereignty and glory of God. This is what Paul means when he says, “The mind of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not ...

   This is the basic reason that the natural person cannot believe in Christ. Believing is not just affirming the truth of Jesus, but is also seeing the beauty and worth of Jesus, in such a way that we receive him as our supreme treasure. The way Jesus expressed this was to say, “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and who...

   The stark reality, therefore, is that human beings, as we are born — with an ordinary, fallen human nature — are not able not to sin. We are, as Paul and Jesus both affirm, “slaves of sin” (John 8:34; Romans 6:20). The remedy for this condition is the free and sovereign grace of God bringing about a root change in our fallen nature. This miraculous...

   Now, where does “free will” fit into this biblical picture of our condition in the world? To answer that question we need a clear definition of “free will.” It may be helpful to offer three definitions — one from popular usage, one from common biblical usage, and one from the more technical discussion.

   I say that many stumble at this because they regard it as inconceivable. My own view is that the Bible does teach this — the compatibility of God’s decisive sovereignty and man’s responsibility. If this seems inconceivable to you, I would plead that you not let that keep you from believing what the Bible teaches. But it might be helpful to draw in ...

   There are plenty of crises in the world; plenty of reasons to feel lost, aimless, and empty. But the key to a healthy relationship with God is a continual denial of self. When you’re able to get yourself out of the way of your fulfillment, only then can God fill you completely and perfectly. Details.

   Mar 12, 2024 · The Will of My Father. by Jefferson David Tant The words of the title of this article are taken from a familiar Biblical passage found in Matthew 7:21-23: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say….

   Is the will free?

   • The will’s freedom is very clearly contained in the words and reasonings of God’s warning, but we are allowed to think that the will isn’t free, because those words and reasonings were the result of the warning’s being made to fit Cain’s level of understanding.

   What is free will in the Bible?

   • A second definition of free will reflected in the language of Jesus and Paul is this: The human will is free when it is not in bondage to prefer and choose irrationally. It is free when it is liberated from preferring what is infinitely less preferable than God, and from choosing what will lead to destruction.

   Does God impede free will in doing good?

   • Therefore, if the free will of God in doing good is not impeded, because he necessarily must do good; if the devil, who can do nothing but evil, nevertheless sins voluntarily; can it be said that man sins less voluntarily because he is under a necessity of sinning? (Institutes, II.3.5) So much more can be said.

   Does free will exist in fallen and redeemed humans?

   • On that definition, free will exists both in fallen and redeemed human beings. For what the fall brought about was not that we cease to be authentic preferring and choosing persons, but that our rebelliousness inclines us to prefer and choose badly. Everyone prefers and chooses in accord with his nature.

   May 19, 2024 · How can God know what a person is going to do and yet the person retains free will? Doesn’t God’s revelation of a person’s future choice lock them into a predetermined outcome? This is a complex subject which challenges us to understand and apply a divine trait to real world situations.
