1 | do we have any free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | home church | 368 | ||
If some people are chosen for salvation and some are chosen for hell how come the Bible says that God didn't make hell for people but only for satan and his angels, and how come we seem to be able to choose to sin even after we are saved. This would seem to go against God's will for His children. any help on this one would be much appreciated. | ||||||

Yes, we have limited free will. God has His plan and ultimate purposes. But if one chooses to reject God, that person will suffer the consequences. . . . The Bible says that God made hell only for Satan and his angels because it is a true statement. . . .Regarding sinning after we are saved: 1) 1 John 1:8 NASB If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 2) Grace is not a license to sin (Rom 6). 3)Rom 3:28 NASB For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 4) It is true that one who is truly saved will manifest fruit or proofs of their salvation. BUT the evidences of genuine saving faith are the result, not the cause, of one's salvation. 5) Salvation is a free gift. It is not earned by keeping the law or doing good deeds, although these would be present in the life of a believer. 6) Eph 2:8-9 God's Word version: "God saved you through faith as an act of [grace]. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. It's not the result of anything you've done, so no one can brag about it." | ||||||

Free Will is the ability to chose not to sin, so that means that unsaved people don't have Free Will they can only go deeper and deeper into sin. They are not able to see their sin since they don't know God yet or have rejected Him. Only the Holy Spirit can lead us into all truth. | ||||||
