How does the concept of salvation relate to free will?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is not a result of man's free will but is a divine act of God, who makes His people willing to believe in Him.

While some may assert that salvation is based on a choice of one's free will, scripture shows us that it is God's sovereignty that ultimately determines salvation. In Romans 7, Paul discusses the profound struggle of sin and highlights the necessity of God’s intervention in transforming a rebellious heart into one that willingly receives grace. The assertion that a lost soul can choose to love God overlooks the biblical reality of total depravity, necessitating God's action to make us willing and capable of embracing salvation through faith.
