It’s not until we make Jesus Lord that our freewill actually benefits us and leads us down the right path. Until then, our lives are bent towards evil thoughts and actions. Freewill is a gift from God. It’s proof of His immense love for us. It shows where his priorities are, and that His desire for us is to reciprocate love back to Him. If our tendency is bent towards evil, but God grants us freewill, what does that tell you about His character?
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose. 21 And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things. 22 As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”
Genesis 8:20-22
