The human will is merely an instrument, a means that God placed in every person to serve as their instrument of choice. However, the human will is not sovereign in anybody's body, regardless of who that person is. It is never sovereign, making it impossible for anyone to choose to obey God on their own. Only God Himself is sovereign over all, and no human is Creator God. The human will is nothing more than a servant within the body, like the stomach, heart, liver, or kidneys, dependent on the information it receives to make choices. The will serves the body by responding to influences that guide its decisions at any given time throughout each day. It is not powerful enough to heal other parts of the body or rank above them; it remains just another servant, reliant on external influences. The term choice implies accepting one alternative and rejecting others, and in every act of the human will, preference—a desire for one thing over others—determines the decision. Thus, the human will cannot be sovereign; it is not both the cause and effect of its reactions but is affected by considerations and influences. Intellectuals may claim the human will possesses self-determining power, but this is impossible since whatever influences the will causes it to choose. The will serves based on these influences and cannot determine things by itself. The strongest power motivating the will varies according to circumstances, whether it be logic, conscience, reason, satan, the Holy Spirit, or carnal self-centeredness. The will always responds to such influences. God provided an example with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, showing how influences affect the will. Eve's desire for fruit and wisdom, and Adam's desire to please Eve, influenced their wills, leading to a tragic decision that brought death upon themselves. Their will was swayed by something as weak as taste buds or appreciation of beauty, demonstrating how vulnerable it can be. One's taste buds or admiration for beauty are not the only forces influencing the human will to act against God's laws, choosing death over life, joy, and peace. God ensured that satan did not force their choices; they made them on their own, influenced by personal desires. The heart, not the will, often governs many of mankind's bad choices. Out of the abundance of the heart comes sin, as Jesus taught. When two alternatives are placed before a natural-born person, they will likely choose the one most agreeable to their heart, their innermost being. Before a sinner, if a life of virtue and godly piety is set against a life of sinful indulgence, they will almost always choose self-indulgence because they prefer it. The will is influenced by this preference. Conversely, a converted person, given a new heart and nature by God through His calling, will choose the life of piety and virtue, influenced by this divine gift.

Human will, as a faculty of choice, is a gift from God placed within every person to provide direction for living life. Choice serves as the immediate cause of all action, inherently involving the approval of some paths and the rejection of others. However, this faculty does not enable a person to volunteer into God's service through their own carnal mind, which is born hostile to God's law and incapable of submitting to it without divine intervention. A person cannot force themselves into God's family or kingdom by their own standards, as salvation is limited to those specifically called and sanctified by God. Many, through the exercise of human will, join Christianity under self-deception, not realizing their spiritual enslavement and lack of the necessary adjustments God provides to those He calls. Thus, while a person is free to reject a call not genuinely given by God, true freedom and understanding come only through His deliberate calling and transformation.

Human will has been a central issue in significant doctrinal battles, particularly during the Protestant Reformation, where it caused a divide between Roman Catholic Church theologians and those breaking away. The disagreement over human will led to the departure of Protestant reformers from the Catholic Church, shaping the founding of nations like the United States through their influence. The belief that a person can achieve salvation merely by setting their will to be obedient and believing in Christ as Savior is misguided. Instead, each person must be individually and personally called by the Father or the Son to truly understand and attain salvation. Logic dictates that mankind cannot create itself, especially not in God's image, as only the Father and the Son hold the role of Creators. In Genesis 1:26, They decided to make man in Their image, a responsibility not delegated to any other living creature. Mankind's creation occurs in two stages: the physical, preparing humans for life on earth, and the spiritual, transforming them into eternal spirit beings for God's world. No human can effect this change from physical to spiritual life without the intervention of the Father and the Son. As stated in II Corinthians 5:17, a converted person becomes a new creation in the second phase, prepared for God's world, a process no man can accomplish alone. Jesus Himself declares in John 15:5 that without Him, humans can do nothing in this creation. The notion of self-creation, especially into the image of God, lacks truthful logic, as humans possess no knowledge of spirit life, the organizational structure of God's family, or the purposes God will launch after the resurrection. Thus, human will alone cannot achieve the divine transformation or align with the creative goals of the Father and the Son.
