I’d love to!
I believe that while man is free to choose good or evil, we will, in our fallen state, invariably choose evil. Since the Fall it is against our nature to choose good, and therefore against our nature and inclinations to choose God. We are free to do so, but we will not–in both senses of the word. It is an act of God’s free grace to soften our hearts so that we desire God. And when we desire him, we freely choose God. But in the words of C.S. Lewis, “you could not have been calling to me unless I had been calling you.”
We have free will. But thanks be to God that he has grace, or we would all freely run headlong into hell.
I hope that was more concise than the my other post 🙂 (?)
