What is the relationship between God's power and human free will?

Answered in 1 source

God's power is supreme and operates independent of human will, showing that humans are utterly reliant on Him for redemption.

The relationship between God's power and human will is a significant point in Reformed theology, emphasizing that God's sovereignty encompasses all aspects of existence. While it appears that humans possess a degree of free will, the reality is that their will is bound by sin until God regenerates their heart. As stated in John 15:5, 'Without me, you can do nothing.' Thus, God's ability to save does not rely on human will or decision-making but is solely dependent upon His sovereign grace. By acknowledging God’s all-powerfulness and humans' intrinsic depravity, we realize that salvation comes from Him and is only effective when He chooses to impart life to sinners.
