It makes God’s will a waiting servant to the will of man, and the whole covenant of grace dependent on human action. It declares God’s purposes a nullity, since they cannot be carried out unless men are willing. “Free-will doctrine-what does it? It magnifies man into God. I have met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in blessed bonds of grace.” Charles Spurgeon “Free will I have often heard of, but I have never seen it. I have always met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in the blessed bonds of grace.” Charles Spurgeon “We believe, that the work of regeneration, conversion, sanctification and faith, is not an act of man’s free will and power, but of the mighty, efficacious and irresistible grace of God.” Charles Spurgeon “Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.” Charles Spurgeon “Those who speak on mans free will, and insist upon his inherent power to either accept or reject the Savior, do but voice their ignorance of the real condition of Adam’s fallen children.” A.W. “The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will.” C. “Free will without God’s grace is not free at all, but is the permanent prisoner and bondslave of evil, since it cannot turn itself to good.” Martin Luther
