God's Providence vs. Man's Free Will: Can Both Be True? In this video, we dive deep into the biblical doctrine of providence and free will and explore how how God's sovereignty and human choice work together in Scripture. In this message, we ask: Does God predetermine everything, or do we truly have freedom to choose? Using Scripture, we examine how the Christian view on providence versus free will offers a balanced, God-honoring perspective. You will see how God's providence in suffering and human responsibility can cohere without contradiction. We look at passages such as Isaiah, Proverbs, Acts 2:23, and 1 Corinthians 13:12 to show that though God's foreknowledge and human decisions in scripture are real, they do not cancel out one another. We explain that can free will exist under God's control? is not a contradiction but a mystery we accept by faith. We also consider how sin distorts our freedom, but through Christ we receive real freedom — a freedom that cooperates with divine grace, not against it. Practical takeaways: Trust in God's providential care, even when you can't see the full plan. Recognize that your decisions matter and that judgment is just. Use trials and suffering as opportunities to cling to Christ, knowing God uses our choices even in adversity for His greater purpose. And finally: if you don't yet know Jesus, this is your invitation to call upon Him, receive His gift of salvation, and begin the journey of freedom under God's loving rule.
