What does it mean that our will is influenced by our sinful nature?

In the sermon, the preacher explains that the human will, while it may appear 'free,' is actually governed by an evil nature. This is contrasted with God's will, which is perfect and cannot choose to do wrong. As seen in the exposition of Saul's disobedience, it’s highlighted that without regeneration, humans cannot align their will with God's. Romans 8:7 affirms that the carnal mind is enmity against God, indicating that natural man cannot choose righteousness without divine intervention. Thus, while we act according to our desires, those desires are tainted by sin unless one is transformed by grace through faith in Christ.
