I think there are two uses of free will being given here.
1. People can choose behaviour, what they do in a day.
2. We cannot choose God, He has to give us revelation through the word, for us to find the way.
The first free will makes man guilty of sin.
The second means we can be saved.
Does everyone who hears the word, get given a chance to respond?
I think yes, but how their heart is depends on what they do.
Eternity is predicated on love. If you have totally sold out on love,
nothing you do is going to mean you like the Lord or desire to walk that
way.
So to my mind this is the question people answer. Is there a hope, that
you are willing to pursue, or are you happy with where you are, even though
you know you will perish and all is temporary?
In the secular world it is all about unbelief and doubt and total cynism, so even
love is just an illusion. How dare my time be wasted, why should you ask me
to do anything unless I agree, so what if they are my parents, I deserve better,
feelings who needs them, only facts are true, relationships are for wimps, dog
eat dog is our way, greed is good.
This is all so lost, so hurt and alone, so without hope and torn apart, so without
belonging and knowing others at a deep loving level. But this is what consumer
wealth and greed create.
