The following thoughts are simply my interpretation of the word “freewill.” Scripture tells us that we are free to make our own choices—freewill moral agents, choosing whom we will serve: God or Satan.
I am convinced that when a
person chooses their own will rather than God’s will, they are no longer truly
in control of the decisions that follow.
As I turn this over in my mind, it seems that such a person is being
influenced—perhaps even directed—by the enemy of their soul, though they believe
they are acting independently. Through
deception, they feel in control of what they say and do.
It seems to me that this is
how manipulation works—subtle, persuasive, and often unnoticed. A person can exist within a kind of bubble,
unaware of how their thinking has been shaped.
In that state, they are like leaves caught in a breeze of misdirection,
their path gently but steadily redirected.
These are simply my
thoughts. You may see “freewill”
differently. But that is the purpose of
my writing—to stir reflection, to invite consideration of where one stands in
relation to Christ, or whether one might be resting in the illusion of a will
that feels like their own.
