Subject: do we have any free will? |
Bible Note: Dear Zach, Greetings in the name of Jesus! The theory of freewill salvation depends on the 'input' of the individual. However, as you have said, God initiates this, so He is the sole Author of our salvation. It is not repent and believe, but be apprehended by God, believe, then repent. Without God-initiated faith, repentance is impossible. After this, we have *responsibility* and *enabling* to serve the Lord, not 'freewill.' He chose us, not the reverse. Peace and joy in Christ Jesus, charis |
