You are free to choose what you want to make of your life. It's called free agency or free will, and it's your birthright.
An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason.
I live in sin, to kill myself I live; no longer my life my own, but sin's; my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
Only the wise know just where predestination ends and free will begins. Meanwhile, you must keep on doing your best, according to your own clearest understanding. you must long for freedom as the drowning man longs for air. Without sincere longing, you will never find God.
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.
Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Humans like to think of themselves as unusual. We've got big brains that make it possible for us to think, and we think that we have free will and that our behavior can't be described by some mechanistic set of theorems or ideas. But even in terms of much of our behavior, we really aren't very different from other animals.
There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.
