Chapter 9: Of Free Will
1. God has endowed the will of man with that natural liberty that is neither forced, nor by any absolute necessity of nature, determined to good or evil.
Matthew 17:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; James 1:14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Deuteronomy 30:19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. In his state [condition] of innocence,[1] man had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well-pleasing to God; but changeably, so that he could possibly fall from it.
Ecclesiastes 7:29 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Genesis 1:26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Genesis 2:16–17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Genesis 3:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. By his fall into a state of sin, man has entirely lost all ability of his will toward any spiritual good accompanying salvation.a Therefore, a natural man, being altogether averse from that good,b and being dead in sin,c is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself or to prepare himself for conversion.d
aRomans 5:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 8:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 15:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bRomans 3:10, 12
(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cEphesians 2:1,
5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Colossians 2:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dJohn 6:44, 65 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 2:2–5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Titus 3:3–5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. When God converts a sinner, and transfers him into the state of grace, He frees him from his natural bondage under sin.a And by His grace alone, God enables him to freely will and to freely do that which is spiritually good.b Yet, because of his remaining corruption, he does not perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but also wills that which is evil.c
aColossians 1:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 8:34, 36 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bPhilippians
2:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 6:18, 22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cGalatians 5:17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 7:15, 18–19, 21, 23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. Only in the state of glory is the will of man made perfectly and unchangeably free to good alone.
Ephesians 4:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 12:23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 John 3:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Jude 24 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)

15For I do not understand my own actions.
For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
18For I know that nothing good dwells in me,
that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the
ability to carry it out. 19For I do not do the good I want, but the
evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.
21So I find it to be a law that when I want
to do right, evil lies close at hand.
23but I see in my members another law waging
war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that
dwells in my members.

good is not. 19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I
practice the very evil that I do not want.
21I find then the principle that evil is
present in me, the one who wants to do good.
23but I see a different law in the members
of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the
law of sin which is in my members.
Romans 7:15, 18-19, 21, 23 (WEB) Back
15 For I don’t know what I am doing. For I
don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh,
dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing
that which is good.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but
the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I
desire to do good, evil is present.
23 but I see a different law in my members,
warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the
law of sin which is in my members.
