Freewill

Dictionary of Biblical Words:

Man has a freewill, but still God is God. That is, man is not a machine, or even a mere animal. He has a knowledge of good and evil, and also is responsible for accepting or rejecting the gospel message. But God is also sovereign, and has His election of grace. It is well to know at once that these two truths cannot be reconciled by man’s finite capacity; some, therefore, reject the former, and are called Calvinists, others the latter, and are called Armenians. The wise Christian accepts both, as being both found in God’s word.
