Psalm 37:23-24
King James Version
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall,
he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
What is free will?
Do we really have free will?
A born again understands well.
For we live by the Bible.
We know GOD's laws.
We know the consequences of sin.
We know the promises of CHRIST.
We know who to follow.
We know what to do.
All through the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.
These compassionate verses from the Bible give us the power and freedom to choose:

thou shalt surely die.

out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
