If we are born with free will we lose it the first time we sin. Romans 6:16 says,
Quote:Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?In our natural state we are so sinful that we can't obey God by our own power. Jesus said,
Quote:No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.Anyone who responds to God's call and puts his faith in Christ receives a new nature which is incapable of sinning. As long as we are in this life we still have our old nature and therefore we can still sin, but when we leave this life the old nature will be destroyed. In heaven we will have free wills and be able to do anything we want but we won't ever want to do anything that is sinful. This means that we can do whatever we please without worrying about whether our actions will have any harmful results. This is a degree of freedom that can never be experienced during this life.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
