There are 2 ways to look at man’s will.

One is to say people do not have free will.

The other is to say man has free will but his will is limited.

Now we do make real choices. So how can that be if we are predestined. The reason we can be held accountable is that we do not feel the effect of predestination. The way God predestines does no harm to our responsibility in making choices. As far as we can tell the decision is up to us. We must make real choices as far as our experience goes. But we are not conscious that these things have been ordained from before the foundations of the world.

From the perspective that we can not choose to fly like a bird or swim like a fish we are not free. Our will is bound to our nature. Since we do not have the nature of a bird we can not will to fly. So we do not have a completely free will. Just as the fish is not free to walk on dry land. There is no completely free will. So the question is what is our nature and how limited is our will.

Our will is limited since the fall, man’s mind and will have been darkened or spiritually dead. That is we are so dead in sin that we will not choose to seek god or do real good.

We are born in sin and as sinners we can not or will not will to do good or seek God. This is very clear in Scripture. It should not be questioned or doubted that man will not seek god rightly or have faith which would be good, or accept Christ or any good thing. Sin has so darkened our will that we are selfish and only seek self.
Do you deny these scriptures?
Rom 3:11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.” NKJV

So who will seek God? None. Who will believe, none, because that is doing a good thing.
Apart from the work of the Spirit on them they will not seek God.

Matt 11:27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. NKJV

John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, NKJV

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; NKJV

John 1: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. NKJV

Rom 9:15 “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”   16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. NKJV

Rom 9:18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.  NKJV

Either way we prefer to refer to it the fact is clear, until a man is born again of the Spirit and given a new nature that is willing to seek god and will believe, He never will leave his selfishness to give his life up to God.
This is what it means to be dead in sin, not sick,. but completely spiritually dead. He cannot understand spiritual things. And God can not have any communication with him because it would defile His holiness. Man must be 1st made holy by God before He can commune with him or respond to his prayers.
The Spirit must 1st open his heart as He did Lydia’s that she could understand.
Acts 16:14 whose heart the Lord opened , that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. KJV

1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. NKJV

Ps 110:3 Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power; NASB

Can you reconcile the fact that everyone generally agrees that in heaven there will be no sin. Now does this mean that in our glory we have been deprived of “freewill”? I don’t think so.  Is man’s will free in heaven? And yet he cannot sin. So here fallen man, though his will is free it is limited so that until God changes his nature, He is selfish and unwilling to seek God.
The kind of “freedom” Arminians claim to exist just does not exist. In heaven, no one will possess the freewill to sin. If we don’t have this sort of freewill in heaven, why should anyone claim we have it now on earth? Is this “freewill” the Arminian claims we possess now somehow stripped from us in Heaven, where we have been perfected, or is it more plausible we never possessed this Arminian concept of “freewill” in the first place?
