God gave all human beings a free will. The Holy Spirit who is God and the most powerful being in the universe cannot break into your free will and mind and make you do what’s right. He can influence you but He can’t make you do what you don’t want to do. This is what He the Holy Spirit does:
John 16:8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
This free will is very powerful in us. We can choose to do right or we can choose to do wrong. We can follow Jesus or we can make a decision to never follow Jesus. We have a choice to sin or not to sin.
I don’t like it when I use my free will choices and it hurts myself. When I’m doing right I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit on me and in me. When I’m doing things that I have no business doing, it wrecks my relationship with God until the Holy Spirit taps me on the shoulder to let me know I messed up. Then I ask Jesus for forgiveness.
I want to do what I want to do, it’s my human nature. Like when I want to eat too much of something or spend money on something I know I can’t afford. I stick my head in the sand hoping to block out the Holy Spirit trying from to correct me. Then I go ahead and do what I want to do. I’m just being real here folks. Free will is not always good. God has given this to us because He doesn’t want to control us like puppets.
Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Free will is difficult at times to manage. You can make really good decisions with it and then not so good decisions with it. I would like to address the not so good part:
Dear Free will…I’m concerned about who you have become. I’m concerned about your rejection of holiness! I’m concerned about how you don’t want to pay God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit any mind! I‘m concerned about how your blind to truth sometimes. Free will… you were created with such good intentions. You have the ability to make choices and to see you using your gift of choice to cut Jesus out of your life pains me greatly.
Some of you freewillers have never accepted Jesus as your Savior in the first place. You say “I don’t need God at all.” You say “there is no hell” also”. I pray for you guys all the time and I know that the Holy Spirit is trying to contact you all! I know He is trying to get into your heart and mind so you can know truth. But oh freewill is hanging around to say “let me alone and leave me to myself!” Freewillers also say “get away from me, I don’t believe in all that nonsense.” Some other freewillers say “I don’t have time for Jesus right now…maybe later”.
God gave you a choice for you to refuse to believe in Him. You don’t have to have Jesus in your life! You can believe in anything you want to. The reason for my concern is simply that I care what happens to your soul. A soul is who you are as a person. You might say “well who do you think you are to try to get me to believe all this stuff?” I want to tell you these amazing things. God saved my life from suicide attempts!!!!! God saved the life of 4 of my kids when they were in intensive care. All of the blessings in my life has been amazing so why would I not want other people to have these blessings too?
I care about the freewillers and most of all God loves you all so much. You only get one shot at eternal life with God because the minute you die…that’s it!!!!!!!!! You will know whether you were right or wrong immediately. Freewillers please reconsider things and just look into the historical evidence of the Jesus story. Please reevaluate your decision to not accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You have nothing to lose! You can still say no because you have your…free will.
Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
God gave us all a free will. What WILL you do with your choices? If you are already a Christian, will you obey the bible and make good choices for yourself? If you are not a Christian, will you say no or yes today? Your choice!

Great article and thank you for sharing this. But there are a few points that I would want you to clarify. I don;t think man has a free will to choose Christ, he only has a will to hate him and reject him because of sin. But receiving Christ is a gift. Until Christ imparts His faith in you, you can not be saved. “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:44

God does desire that everyone be saved. 2 Timothy 2:4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Also not a lot of people find the way. Matthew 22:14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
These are 2 different views that come from the bible about salvation. The Holy Spirits job is to convict every person so everyone will have a chance at salvation. (John 6:18) The scholars have debated this issue about being chosen and also about having a free will to choose. There are many things in the bible that are a mystery and there are many things that leave us with questions.
Have a great day.
