How do we know the doctrine of Free Will is true?

Answered in 1 source

While the doctrine of Free Will is debated, scripturally, it posits significant implications for human responsibility and divine sovereignty.

The doctrine of Free Will is essential in understanding the dynamics of God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Those who affirm Free Will often reference texts that underscore the ability of humans to choose or reject God's grace. However, Luther challenges the notion that Free Will is independent of divine influence, arguing that true freedom is found in submitting to God's will. Verses such as 2 Timothy 4:2 emphasize the need for believers to stand firm in their convictions, signaling that choices made in faith are crucial, yet appropriately aligned with God's purpose. The careful balance resides in recognizing that while humans make choices, the enabling grace of God is what allows for righteous assertions in faith.
