How does God's sovereignty affect the meaning of free will?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty means that human free will does not override His divine plan.

The sermon emphasizes that while many speak of free will as essential in salvation, true freedom is found only in God's sovereign grace. Psalm 75:5 cautions against lifting up our own strength and power, which is illusionary compared to God's absolute authority. In Ephesians 1:5, it is made clear that salvation is according to God's good pleasure, not our choices. This indicates that human will, if left unrestrained, always gravitates towards sin, reinforcing the necessity of God intervening to effectuate true salvation.
