God gave us free will quote

Is God s sovereignty compatible with God s will? Why is God willing to take away our free will? What does the Bible say about free will? Is free will found in Scripture?


God created things which had free will.

That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Man is not free FROM God. Nothing happens by chance. We are free IN God. God has allowed us to have preferences, and a unique personality that is able to make choices.


For God so loved the worl that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us. These Bible verses about free will show us that we have the ability to choose and have faith in God , being secure in our eternal life in heaven, or we can choose to turn from God and live apart from Him.

Use these Scriptures to help you make wise choices! God gave people a free will , so that we could make our own choices. God gave us free will , but as believers we still have a destiny – or perhaps a calling or purpose.


And as believers, we are destined for a beautiful eternity with God. So what are you doing today to live out this destiny? Revelation 3:- Behol I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Adam had a choice right from the get-go, he was NOT a robot who HAD to obey. If you eat its fruit, you will surely die.


Until the fall, Adam and Eve may not have understood good and evil, but. God ’s creation of light in our hearts: “ God , who sai ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.


Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. It is only through the grace and power of God that free will truly becomes “ free ” in the sense of being able to choose salvation (John 15:16). Salvation is God ’s work.


Solving the free will problem–especially the problem of divine foreknowledge–was a major aspect of medieval Jewish philosophy, which offered an array of possible theories about what God knows and doesn’t know.

For example, Gersonides suggested that God knows the choices from which we will choose, but doesn’t know the specific choice we will make. If God knows that fifty years from now Canada will invade the United States , it matters not (for our discussion) if God knows it because the event, years away for us , is present to God. What matters is that God knows the event with infallible certainty.


Since God knows that in years Canada will invade the United States , in years it cannot be otherwise than that the United States will.
