Of Free Will, IX:5

The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to good alone, in the state of glory only.

Man in glory is a free moral agent who is perfected in his abilities in like manner to the nature of Christ himself and is "forever perfectly free and immutably disposed to perfect holiness." Think of it--an eternity of living precisely as our Creator intended us to live with no fear of messing up. We will be allowed to realize our full potential, the handicap of sin and corruption having been put far behind us. We will enter fully into the joy of the Lord.

Tomorrow: Free will summarized.
