It was “free will” that got us all into trouble to begin with. What fools we are to imagine that it will get us out of that trouble now. As Luther said, the will is “unfree.” The will of man is always bound to the nature of man. Is that nature sinful or holy? It is sinful therefore, the will only does that which it nature dictates, i.e.; sin. So much for having a free will – they can keep it. Far better to have that will changed by the sovereign intervention of God in regeneration. Now I am free to choose – either to sin or not sin, yet the freedom to sin is also bondage, so it really is not truly free. For that I must wait to be with the Lord, for then I shall be like the Lord.
