So what do you do with the concept of free will?
God is not going to force us to love him. He wants us to love him unconditionally. Only when I accepted his give of salvation by faith, did I really truly feel the love of God and really understood what Jesus as my savior really meant. He was beaten, his flesh ripped off,mocked,spit upon, and crucified. He went through that for us!! Sinners that we are. All of us have a choice. We can come to the foot of the cross and accept him or we can reject it. That's what free will is. You either believe God or you don't.
