“God sovereignly decreed that man should be free to exercise moral
choice, and man from the beginning has fulfilled that decree by making his
choice between good and evil. When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby
countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal
decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free
to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited
freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?' Man’s will is
free because God is sovereign. A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral
freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.”
