How does God's sovereignty relate to human willingness to serve?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty ensures that He makes His people willing through grace, enabling true service and worship.
The relationship between God's sovereignty and human willingness is a profound mystery in Reformed theology. As highlighted in the sermon, God's grace operates in the hearts of believers, making them willing to serve. In Psalm 110:3, it is declared that His people will be willing in the day of His power. This teaches that no one comes to God or serves Him without the prior work of the Holy Spirit. He transforms our hearts and inclines our will toward the things of God, leading us to serve joyfully rather than out of obligation. Thus, Christian service is both a gift of grace and a response to God's sovereign will.
