The concept of Free Will is that man, on his own, can turn to God. This is a complete falshood. Man flees from God until he is converted (regenerated, born again, etc). No man will turn to God, in fact, no man CAN turn to God without the express directive given by God for him to change. No man chooses God on his OWN volition, man only chooses to sin or not sin at any given point. No man pleases God by himself.
The Light of Christ is given to every man that is born into the world. Most people are innately good. Those that choose kindness, generosity, humility, and other worthy attributes are blessed with a greater portion of the light or spirit. Those that choose selfishness, vulgarity, cruelty, and other grievous acts tend to become more depraved, hardened, spiritually blinded, or otherwise uncivilized. God is very serious about teaching us with His commandments. We learn profoundly from the natural consequences. He will test us. He always extends His Hand towards us. He so loved the world that He sent His only Son to help us overcome the fallen nature of the "vale of tears."
