Does this sound like free will to you, and this is way back in the Old Testament.I don’t really like using labels such as “free will” myself, but that’s the popular term here.
I agree on being drawn by the spirit. Do you think a man can resist that? I do, (for whoever will) and that’s what I call “free will” and I understand that label may not be the correct terminology.
Ezekiel 36:24-26
…24
For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.
25
I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.
26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.…
The moral of the story is, it is not what you or I do or don't do, but rather what He, the Son of the lliving God has already done!
