What "Free Will" Denies
Before
we can see what free will denies, we first have to know what is meant
by free will. Free will says that a man’s destiny is dependent upon
the choices he makes. His will is free to choose to allow God to save
him or reject God’s offer of salvation. His eternal destiny is
determined by his free will.
If I believe my will is free, there are three things I deny.
1.
I deny that God is sovereign. I say His sovereignty does not extend
to my will. That is a complete denial of His sovereignty.
2.
I deny that I am a sinner in the Biblical definition of the word.
According to the Bible, men are dead in sins [EPHESIANS
2:1]. That means
they are completely unable to do anything to save themselves. Free
will is a denial of that.
3.
Free will is a denial of free grace. You cannot believe in salvation
by grace and free will. Free will is nothing less than salvation by
works.
The
teaching of free will is a denial of the Gospel!
