Theological request posted on FB: “Biblical support of free will?”

Christian response,

Void free will, love and relationship with our God could not manifest with purity and authenticity because if we were created as robots, we could be programmed to comply but we could never truly love. True love and authentic relationship cannot be predestined nor can they be coerced. Void free will, God’s love would be meaningless, life would be nihilistic and the suffering of Jesus would be futile. Calvin is wrong!
