| Verses on Free Will |
| Sorry, there are no verses found on Free Will, saying you must choose Christ. Free Will is a fabrication of Jacobus Arminius in 1609, in a refute to the Doctrines of Grace, at the Synod of Dort. Wherein, he was found a heretic, and cast out of the Synod. |
| Free will is choosing the things of the world, but to the natural, carnal (unsaved) mind, they CANNOT choose the things of God, they are Dead, Blind, Lost, and Condemned. Only AFTER we have been regenerated, can we see and choose the things of God, then and ONLY then will we have "Free Will". |
| From the 1689 London Baptist Confession on the subject of Free Will: 1. God has indued the will of man, by nature, with liberty and the power to choose and to act upon his choice. This free will is neither forced, nor destined by any necessity of nature to do good or evil. 2. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well-pleasing to God, but he was unstable, so that he might fall from this condition. 3. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, has completely lost all ability of will to perform any of the spiritual good which accompanies salvation. As a natural man, he is altogether averse to spiritual good, and dead in sin. He is not able by his own strength to convert himeslf, or prepare himself for conversion. 4. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into a state of grace, He frees him from his natural bondage to sin, and by grace alone He enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good. But because of his remaining corruptions he does not only (or perfectly) will that which is good, but also wills that which is evil. 5. The will of man will only be made perfectly and immutably free to will good alone in the state of glory. |
