Many people and Christian churches differ with the views about free will.

In layman's term, free will is the ability of a person to choose between two possible actions. It is can be related to responsibility, sin, guilt or other judgements that apply to actions freely decided by humans.

While some becomes confused on how our free will and God's will interact, we need to trust God and His words written in the Bible.

Theses following Bible Verses will tell us about free will and that it helps us to have the sound ability to choose faith and choose freely with God in our mind.

 "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

John 7:17

"Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own."

Proverbs 16:9

"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps."

Galatians 5:13

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love."

Romans 13:2

"Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."

Galatians 5:16-17
