But the fact that people’s sinful intents and actions serve the sovereign purpose of God does not make God the author of their sin nor make them any less culpable for their actions. God judges people for the very sins that He uses to carry out His purpose. This truth is taught in such passages as Isaiah 10:5-16 (we will look at this passage in another chapter). The third truth to keep before us is that the Bible consistently portrays people as making real choices of their own will.
people make choices out of tgeir own will
