WCF: Chapter 9

Of Free Will

Man…is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto.

Amen. To say otherwise is to wander into pelagian or semi-pelagian territory.

Yet while I don’t believe we have a free will to choose God on our own, we do have a free will to reject Him—we don’t have the power to say yes, but we do have the power to say no.
