The Bondage of the Will, the Sovereignty of Grace, and the Glory of God
At the heart of Martin Luther’s theology is the conviction that human beings are totally dependent on God’s omnipotent grace to rescue us from the bondage of the will by creating and decisively fulfilling every inclination to believe and obey. Are the debates about the freedom of the will and the bondage of the will peripheral to the church? Were they during the Reformation? Is our working added to God’s working or is our working God’s working? Just how fallen and sinful are human beings? Piper explores something of the depths of human depravity in this talk.
