How does predestination work with free will?

Answered in 1 source

Predestination reveals God's sovereignty while free will respects human responsibility; both truths coexist in God's plan.

The doctrine of predestination does not negate human responsibility or free will. Instead, it emphasizes that God's sovereign choice and human decision-making work together within His divine purpose. Isaiah 46:10 illustrates God's declaration of the end from the beginning, indicating His control over the course of history while allowing humans to act according to their desires. In the context of salvation, it affirms that God’s grace enables individuals to respond to the gospel, ensuring their choice aligns with His predestined plan to save His people. Thus, predestination highlights the harmony between God’s ultimate authority and our meaningful choices in response to His grace.
