The Bible teaches that salvation is not dependent on man's will but solely on God's will, as stated in John 1:11-13 and Romans 9:16.
Freewillism is the belief that although God loves you and offers salvation, ultimately it is up to you to choose to accept it. This perspective contradicts the biblical understanding that salvation is determined solely by the will of God. According to John 1:11-13 and Romans 9:16, salvation does not depend on human will or effort, but on God's sovereign choice. Thus, the notion of free will in salvation undermines God's grace and sovereignty, making human decision the decisive factor rather than God's merciful plan.
