Free Will or Free Grace

Free Will:  As many as believed were ordained to eternal life.

Free Grace:  "And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed."  Acts 13:48

*****************************************************************

Free Will:  No one knows the Father except those who choose the Son.

Free Grace:   " All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."  Matthew 11:27

*****************************************************************

Free Will:  All can come to Christ of their own free will.

Free Grace:  "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.  And I will raise him up on the last day."  John 6:44

*****************************************************************

Free Will:  You are not Christ's sheep because you do not believe.

Free Grace:  "...but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock.  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."  John 10:26-27

*****************************************************************

Free Will:  The reason you are not of God is because you are unwilling to hear and believe God's words.

Free Grace:  "Whoever is of God hears the words of God.  The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."  John 8:47


*****************************************************************

Free Will:  Salvation is so easy a cave man can do it.

Free Grace: " But he said, 'What is impossible with men is possible with God.'"  Luke 18:27

Free Will or Free Grace.  Can both be right?
