Free Will: Part 1
from Equipping University
If we are as desperately lost as the Bible indicates, then we must acknowledge and hold to what the Bible teaches about our condition. We cannot come to God, choose God, or believe in Jesus Christ on our own. This is a matter of ability as well as desire - which speaks of our will. Many people are troubled by the Calvinistic understanding of man's free will because it does not seem consistent with what they know of their natural and usual ability to choose what they want to choose and reject what they want to reject. We can just examine our own lives and the lives we see lived around us and see clearly that man enjoys a very real measure of freedom of choice. Is it possible for man to be free and God to be sovereign? One position makes the best sense of that seeming contradictory position.
