God puts a measure of faith in a person, but free will can reject it.
Yes, I and Augustine have heard this argument before. There is no scripture to support this nor is there anything as "free will". If a Christian has "free will" then why don't they freely obey to do the things that God has told them?
Because so long as you are in a physical body you have the nature inherited from Adam, a nature which is nailed the same cross of Christ. A new nature is what the spark of the Holy Spirit ‘grows’ in you as day by day you faiths in His life in your human spirit. You are a new creation hide with Christ, hidden/sheltered from Satan, sealed unto the day of redemption, which for Church Age Christians is the Day of the Rapture.
**Faith comes from what is heard.**
Absolutely! That is what Adam passed to Cain, Abel, and Seth. Then Seth to his offspring, and so on.
**If a Christian has “free will” then why don’t they freely obey to do the things that God has told them?**
To many people, a banana split is preferable to a caesars salad.
Why has the ‘beat’ become the dominant aspect of gospel music in many church houses?
Acts 2:38 is God’s will. Why is it ignored, or held in low regard, by many churches claiming to be Christian?
