Mid-America Reformed Seminary

Last time Dr. Beach affirmed the Reformed teaching on free will, that Christians do indeed have free will, but a will that is only awakened and enabled by the grace of God to freely obey his will, not a will of our own volition, a will left in darkness. In our Reformed heritage, we love to reflect on the work of John Calvin, of course. So what did he think of free will- You may be surprised to learn that he affirms what Dr. Beach was talking about but that he was a little cautious in using the exact terminology of -free will.-
