Bible Note: Hello Glory2Godnow, I couldnt agree with you more, without free will we cannot know true love. Is this the reason why unbelievers cannot know God's love because being in bondage to sin they have constricted free will? They are controlled by all manner of desires which curtail their freedom. The only ones in scripture I can find who are free are the anointed of God, 'If the Son SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, you are free indeed.' (John 8:36) We are not free until we know Him. 'The truth shall set you free,' and truth is His person, not an idea, 'I am the way and the truth....' Is this why He has to choose us and not us choosing Him? (John 15:16) We were not capable of a free will choice until we are in Him. Thank you, yours and His, Paul |
