Question to all on Christ about free will...
Posted : 6 Aug, 2012 09:54 AM

I have been reading a few topics in the forum regarding the debates and am wondering where you stand.



Do you believe that God is sovereign that He does all things and you just do it whether you know it or not, or do you have a choice in the matter?



I'm just looking to see what your thoughts on the matter is.



Thanks for your responses in advance.

A man's heart deviseth his way,.... This is to be understood, not of a wicked man, in whose heart is frowardness, and who devises mischief and evil imaginations continually, Proverbs 6:14; for such are an abomination to the Lord; nor will he direct their goings, or prosper and succeed them in their ways: but of a good man, or righteous man; who thinks of the way in which he should go, and desires to walk in a right way, and who is influenced by the Spirit and grace of God to think and act in this manner; for otherwise the way of man is not in himself; it is not of his own devising and finding out; nor is his disposition to walk in it of himself; and it is only such a man, a good man, whose steps are ordered by the Lord, as follows; see Jeremiah 10:23;



but the Lord orders his steps: to go right on, and not turn to the right hand or the left; and to walk safely and surely, through a variety of troubles and difficulties, to his kingdom and glory.



The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,

And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;

For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

Ps. 37:24
