What does the Bible say about the will of God vs. the will of man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the will of man is inherently sinful and not free, while the will of God is sovereign and determines all things.

The will of man, as described in scripture, is not free but is subservient to sin. We are born with a heart that is deceitful and inclined to evil, as seen in Mark 7:20-23 where Jesus explains that evil thoughts and actions come from within the heart of man. In contrast, the will of God is sovereign and all-encompassing. Ephesians 1:4-5 highlights that God chose a people according to His own good pleasure before the foundation of the world, showing that salvation is based on God's will rather than man's choices. All human will is affected by sin, rendering it incapable of choosing God without divine intervention.
