God's Sovereignty and the Human Will by A. W. Pink

Cited

Why does the sinner choose a life of sinful indulgence? Because he prefers it — and he does prefer it, all arguments to the contrary not withstanding, though of course he does not enjoy the effects of such a course. And why does he prefer it? Because his heart is sinful. The same alternatives, in like manner, confront the Christian, and he chooses and strives after a life of piety and virtue. Why? Because God has given him a new heart or nature. Hence we say it is not the will which makes the sinner impervious to all appeals to “forsake his way”, but his corrupt and evil heart. He will not come to Christ, because he does not want to, and he does not want to because his heart hates him and loves sin: see Jer 17:9!

Saturday, June 18, 2016: Brief On Sovereignty From Arthur Pink (PhD Edit)

The Christian is regenerated (John 3, Titus 3) through God the Holy Spirit and the applied atoning and resurrection work of God the Son, as God incarnate, that prayed to and followed the will (see the gospels) of God the Father.

I do not need a chatbot, my websites will hopefully still be online for those still in this realm. According to the New Testament, the rest can chat with me in paradise (Luke 23, 2 Corinthians 12: 4, Philippians 1) awaiting the restoration of creation with the new earth and new heaven (Revelation 21-22, 2 Peter 3, 1 Corinthians 15, 1-2 Thessalonians). 

This will be the restoration from any results of the fall, especially human sin (Genesis 1-3, Romans, Hebrews, key examples) for our present material creation. The effects on time, space and matter in the new realm, yet to be empirically observed, scientifically, of course, or fully documented, as the New Testament is religious history and not a science text.
