Through the influence of the Holy Spirit, the most wretched sinner can accept Grace. But not all choose to do so. If the Holy Spirit acts impartially in all of us, then I suppose our resistance, or our temporary resistance, illustrates the complex interplay between human free will and God's sovereignty. Those who are saved in this way display an openness that others appear to lack through sin and through absorption in worldly pursuits. Their openness is a manifestation of their free choice. But others' lack of that openness does not seem to reflect free will, but rather thralldom. Should we conclude that thralldom to the things of the world is freely chosen?
