Like Paul in Romans chapter 6, we can define freedom as freedom from sin. If we were perfectly free from sin, then we would fulfill God's will without fail.
For the sake of argument: Would we be free (according to Paul's definition) if 1 and 2 below obtained?
1) God determined that we would always want to do God's will.
and
2) By virtue of our God given want to do God's will, we would always do God's will.
If both 1 and 2 were true, it seems we would be free because we would always desire to do God's will and we would always fulfill God's will. If 1 and 2 obtained, we would be free from sin, which according to Paul is true freedom.
What do you think?
