Today, we will be looking at God's Freedom. After spending time yesterday talking about God's free will, discussing His freedom might seem redundant, but it is not. You can't have free will or make free choices if you aren't free to begin with.
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
Psalm 115:3
- Consider the following, suppose you were to freely decide (exercise your free will) that today you were going to cause an earthquake.
- You've made a free will decision to cause an earthquake. Right?
- Do you have the freedom to cause an earthquake?
- What is restraining you from causing an earthquake today?
- God, however, is not restrained from doing so.
- He does what He pleases, because He can.
- The only thing that restrains God is God himself (remember our discussion of His necessary will).
- Can God cause it to be dark when it should be light? Yes, He did so in Exodus as one of the plagues
- Can God turn water into wine? Yes, Jesus did so at the wedding in Cana
- God can do these things that nobody else can do because He has freedom to do so
