The Bible illustrates that human free will is an illusion, as it is God's will that ultimately prevails over all actions (Psalm 37:23).
The assertion that human free will is a myth is rooted in the biblical truth that God is sovereign over all creation. Scriptures like Psalm 37:23 state that 'the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,' highlighting that even what we perceive as our free choices are actually governed by God's divine will. Additionally, the preacher emphasizes that everyone is controlled by either God's sovereignty or sin, contrasting God's authority over man with the limited and flawed nature of human will. Without God's intervention, our hearts devise only evil (Genesis 6:5), leading to the conclusion that true freedom is found within the bounds of His sovereign grace.
