Because free will is not neutral. Our "free will" fell in the Garden and we now choose to sin, of our free will. It is not until we have been born again that our free will can choose to come to Christ.
Of course it isn't. If it was, it would be called "Chance".
Our "free will" fell in the Garden and we now choose to sin, of our free will.
No--we now have the ability to choose sin--it's a small, but distinctive difference. Unfortunately, most people choose sin with great enthusiasm. However, it does not preclude our ability to choose not to sin--it just makes it more difficult.
It is not until we have been born again that our free will can choose to come to Christ.
So, we're saved before we choose to come to Christ?
The way I see it, our will isn’t free at all until we are regenerated. Then, and only then, are we free to “choose” Christ. Be cause at that point there really isn’t any other choice.
