About "Free Will"

Do we really have a "free” will?

Read 1 Corinthians 2:9-18 and Romans 3:11.  We can receive nothing from God unless the Spirit reveals it to us.

John 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all peoples to Myself."
John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
John 6:37 "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”
John 1:13 "who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Proverbs 16:9 "A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps."
Proverbs 20:24 "Man's goings [are] of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? "  His will is usually not forced.  Freedom of choice, but all choices are influenced by the course of our lives.  We are “creatures of habit”.  See Romans 6:16-18.  What is a slave?  Bondage!  Yielding to God brings His will for your life into fulfillment.  Do it the hard way or the easy way.

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith…"

Romans 9:15-16 “For he said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy."
Romans 5:18  “Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.”  Men had no choice in being condemned and have no choice to receive life.

Acts 13:48  "Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal (age lasting) life believed."
Acts 17:28   "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring."

Ephesians 1:4-5  “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will…”
Romans 8:29-30  “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.  And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”   Predestination and election is corporate not usually individual. 

Philippians  2:13   “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for [His] good pleasure.”  In all ways God is sovereign.  Man’s will is always subject to Him.
