This week we consider the contentious topic of free will within Christian theology, emphasizing its impact on understanding human nature, responsibility, and God's sovereignty. Be introduced to the framework laid out in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, which strives to maintain God's sovereignty with human responsibility. The lecture progresses through various states of human will: from its original, pre-Fall state, to its corruption after the Fall, its renewal through divine grace, and its eventual perfection in glorification. Meditate on the interplay between divine grace and human choice, which highlights the fact that while human freedom is integral to moral and ethical reasoning, it ultimately relies on divine grace for true spiritual good and salvation.
