Roger that. Free will is eliminated from the salvation equation by Eph. 2:8, which declares our faith absolutely does not originate within ourselves, but is the gift of God, and John 1:13, which declares that our being born again ain’t because of blood or inheritance, nor the will of the flesh (our will), nor the will of man (anybody else’s will), but it originates from God’s will.
On the contrary, passages like Rom. 3:10-12 declares absolutely none of us seek after God. Matt. 20:16 and 22:14 declares that many are called, but few are chosen. It doesn’t say many are called, but few are choosing.
So if we’re saved, that’s a monergistic act, not a synergistic one. Else how is God being gracious and merciful in saving our souls? In reality, God does for us what we’re utterly unable to do for ourselves. And for this saving act of grace and mercy on His part, we’ll praise Him throughout all eternity.
Amen! I love Him because He first loved me!
