Theological discussions throughout history have often begun with the same question: Is man free or is God sovereign?
My answer to that question is simply, yes. In a sermon in 1884, Charles Spurgeon recalled a time when someone asked him about a perceived dichotomy between predestination and free will. “I was once asked to reconcile these two statements, and I answered, ‘No, I never reconcile friends.’”
Predestination and free will never need to be balanced, reconciled, or denied because they are inseparable friends, united in the plan and personality of God. Not only was Spurgeon the Prince of Preachers, he was a very wise man who understood the biblical doctrine of predestination and free will.
