What does the Bible say about free will and grace?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that salvation is by God's free grace, not by man's free will (John 6:37-46).

The scriptures emphasize that salvation is a sovereign act of God, highlighting that it is not of man's will or effort. In John 6:44, Jesus states, 'No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' demonstrating that it is God's initiative that brings individuals to believe in Christ. This underscores the doctrine of election and God's sovereignty in salvation, which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible.
